Authorities in Jammu have issued an order mandating all firearm licence holders of Jammu district to comply with the provisions of the Arms (Amendment) Act 2019.

District Magistrate Sachin Kumar Vaishya stated that, under the act, no individual is permitted to possess more than two firearms. As per the order, all license holders identified with more than two firearms are required to surrender the excess weapons within one week. “These licence holders are instructed to deposit their additional firearm at the nearest police station or authorised unit armoury, in case they are members of Armed Forces of the Union,” said a spokesperson.

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).
