Phagwara, October 3

Unidentified burglars made a failed attempt to open the strong room and a fireproof cabinet of a bank in Phagwara, the police said.

The burglars used gas cutters in their bid to break open the locks at the Punjab Gramin Bank branch on the Phagwara-Banga road. SP Mukhtiar Rai said the burglars had gained entry into the bank by breaking its back wall. The CCTVs installed in the bank had been taken down, and the power supply had been disconnected.

It is suspected that two or three persons were involved.

The incident came to light after Bank Manager Iqbal Singh reached the bank branch on Sunday, and reported the matter to the police. The footage from CCTVs installled in close quarters is currently being scruntinised. An investigation is underway. — OC

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).
