Jalandhar, August 28

Ahead of the visit of Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann to Jalandhar, pro-Khalistan slogans written in black ink on the banners welcoming Mann were found here on Sunday.

Mann is to visit the city for the inauguration of ‘Khedan Vatan Punjab Diyan’ on Monday.

Statue of former CM Beant Singh at the BMC Chowk was also smeared.

On receiving information, the police cleared the slogans. They were reportedly written late on Saturday.

The police are scrutinising CCTV footages installed near the BMC Chowk to identify the culprits.

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).
