Jalandhar Commissionerate Police have arrested two associates of Canada-based Lakhbir Singh Landa group after an intense shootout.

As many as 50 shots were fired from both sides. Two police officials also got injured during the chase.

The gangsters also sustained injuries in the foot. They were involved in multiple heinous crimes including extortion and other criminal activities across Punjab.

The police have recovered seven weapons and multiple cartridges, said Jalandhar CP Swapan Sharma.

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).
