A policeman was injured in an explosion in the evidence room of a court in Baramulla district, officials said on Thursday.

“A grenade (collected as evidence in a case) exploded inside the ‘malkhana (evidence room)’ of a court in Baramulla town at around 1 pm on Thursday,” a police official said.

A police personnel was injured in the explosion and he was taken to a hospital.

“Situation is under control. General public is requested not to pay heed to any rumours,” the spokesperson said.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
