A history-sheeter was detained in Samba district on Friday after being slapped with the Public Safety Act (PSA), officials said. The accused, Rohit Kumar alias Makhan, said to be involved in a number of criminal activities, was detained by a special police team from RS Pura area.

According to the police, a number of heinous cases are registered against Kumar at police stations of Ramgarh, Samba, Bari-Brahmana and R S Pura, Nawabad and Bishnah. Keeping in view of his repeated involvement in criminal activities, a dossier was prepared by the Samba SSP following which District Magistrate issued the order of his detention under the PSA.

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).
