Srinagar, February 11

Two persons were arrested after they attacked two minor girls with knives, leaving them injured in Srinagar on Friday. The assailants have been identified as Umar Yousuf Wani and Habil Yaseen of Srinagar.

They barged into a residential house around 1 pm at Mominabad for robbery. They tied three female occupants using ropes, the police said.

One of the girls managed to escape and raised a hue and cry. Neighbours rushed to rescue the family. “He tried to hit on my neck with a knife but I resisted and received a deep cut on my forehead,” she said.

Srinagar SSP Rakesh Balwal said the police would act tough against those involved in crime against women. —

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).
