Jalandhar, April 13

Continuing its spree against people violating curfew norms and not adhering to Covid precautions, the Jalandhar Commissionerate Police on Monday arrested eight violators.

Commissioner of Police Gurpreet Singh Bhullar said that eight persons— Mintu, Paramvir, alias Ravi, Simranjit Singh, Baljeet Singh, Kewal Krishan, alias Rinku, Rajiv, alias Gora, Hardial Singh and Karan Kumar— were arrested for not wearing face masks. Likewise, Bhullar added that 12 FIRs were also registered against 16 persons for flouting curfew norms in the city.

Besides, the traffic police challaned 258 vehicle owners, while 13 vehicles were impounded for curfew violations.

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).
