In a dramatic turn of events, two mobile phone snatchers were apprehended and physically restrained by local residents after they targeted a woman in Baldev Nagar on Saturday morning.

Eyewitnesses said the woman was walking through Baldev Nagar when two bike-borne men snatched her mobile phone and attempted to flee. The woman’s cries for help drew the attention of nearby residents, who quickly intercepted the snatchers. The suspects were restrained by tying them to an electricity pole and subjected to a severe beating. After receiving information through control room, the Rama Mandi police arrived on the spot and took the suspects into custody. Preliminary probe revealed that one of the suspects, identified as Malkhan, was a Uttar Pradesh native.

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).
