The Mehatpur police have arrested a proclaimed offender (PO) absconding for the past two years. Station House Officer (SHO) Lakhveer Singh said the accused was identified as Amrit Pal Singh, a resident of Mallewal village falling under the Dera Baba Nanak police station in Gurdaspur.

The SHO said the accused had murdered Jarnail Singh, alias Nannu, a resident of Tandaura village, in June 2020. A case under murder and firing charges was registered against the accused who was declared PO in 2022, he said. The SHO said the accused was a notorious criminal and many cases were pending against him.

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).
