Phagwara, October 31

Hundreds of Phagwara residents, led by BJP Kisan Morcha National Secretary Avtar Singh Mand, today staged a demonstration outside the Satnampura police station to protest the police handling of a case of attempted desecration at a gurdwara.

The protesters also blocked the traffic on the Phagwara-Nakodar road for several hours. Phagwara DSP arrived on the scene to pacify the protesters, but to no avail. Mand claimed that Mehtan residents had caught a miscreant sneaking into a local gurdwara with the motive to desecrate the place of worship. Mand added that even though the residents had handed the miscreant over to the police two days back, the police let him off.

Slamming the police, Mand contended that the cops have been letting such anti-social elements disturb the atmosphere of peace.

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).
