Phagwara, April 25

The Shahkot police subdivision has as many as 2,180 licensed weapons, and out of these, more than 1,700 weapons have been turned in at the Shahkot police subdivision, following the imposition of the code of conduct for the Jalandhar Lok Sabha bypoll.

Shahkot Superintendent of Police Gurpreet Singh said the police are hoping to achieve complete compliance of the order within a few days adding that license holders have been told to deposit their weapons at the earliest, failing which the police will send reports to the Deputy Commissioner, recommending the cancellation of their licenses.

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).
