The Punjab Police on Thursday conducted a surprise search operation at Modern Jail in Kapurthala. The early morning operation was led by SP (D) Prabhjot Singh Virk, along with multiple police teams.

Senior officials at the DSP level, station house officers from various police stations and a large number of police personnel participated in the intensive checking. The teams thoroughly searched various barracks of the jail.

Jail Superintendent Shyamal Jyoti was also present during the inspection to assist and coordinate with the police officials. The operation is part of an ongoing effort to curb illegal activities within jails.

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).
