Hoshiarpur, November 5

The Central Jail administration has recovered a mobile phone, bundles of beedis, tobacco and some other articles from an envelope allegedly thrown in the jail from across the wall. According to information, Des Singh, assistant superintendent, posted at the Central Jail here, stated in his complaint that a prison employee, Gurjit Singh, was on his duty and when he reached near tower number two, he saw an envelope lying there. He informed the jail administration about it and when the said envelope was opened, a mobile phone, four packets of tobacco, three bundles of beedis, a head phone and two data cables were found from it. The city police have registered a case against unidentified persons in this regard.

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).
