Srinagar, March 4

A man was arrested on Saturday for allegedly carrying counterfeit currency notes in Kulgam district, the police said. A police team intercepted Khurshid Ahmad Naik, a resident of Waripora Kund, at a checkpoint near Manigam crossing on the Srinagar-Jammu highway. He tried to flee after noticing the policemen, a spokesman said.

However, the man was apprehended, he said, adding that 37 counterfeit currency notes of Rs 500 denomination were found in his possession.

A case has been registered and investigation initiated into the matter, the police spokesperson added.

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).
