A panchayat member and three members of his family were injured after a group of assailants allegedly attacked their home in the village under the Sohana police station jurisdiction late on Friday night.

The incident occurred when the panchayat member, returning from official work, confronted a group of individuals who were reportedly abusing and threatening him on the street. According to the victim, the confrontation escalated after he asked them to stop, following which the accused allegedly barged into his house armed with sticks and iron rods.

The injured were admitted to the Civil Hospital for treatment. Doctors stated that one of the victims sustained a head injury, while others suffered multiple wounds. Police have registered a case in the matter.

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).
