The Nakodar Sadar police have booked six villagers, including a panchayat member (Panch), on the charge of stopping development work in a village.

Investigating officer (IO) Gurnam Singh said the accused were identified as Rannjit Singh, Pappu, and his brothers Kaka, Lov and Khapat, and Parminder Singh, all of Gill village. Daljit Kaur, sarpanch of Gill village, complained to the Sub-Divisional Magistrate (SDM), and Block Development and Panchayat Officer (BDPO) that the accused stopped the solid waste management development work in the village, abused the panchayat, assaulted labourers on work, and stole bricks and sand from the spot. The IO said a case was registered against the accused.

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).
