Jalandhar, January 18

In yet another alarming incident, a daring attack took place at Ganpati Trader’s shop on Kala Sanghian Road early this morning. The victim, identified as Deepak, faced an unusual threat as bike-borne robbers armed with sharp weapons targeted him.

Recounting the incident, Deepak, who opens his shop at 6 am, said taking advantage of the fog, two men with their faces covered arrived at his shop on a bike. He said one of them stood in front of him and another beside him with a sharp weapon in his hand. “He put the weapon on my neck and asked me to handover whatever money I had. When I resisted, they attacked me, snatched my mobile phone and Rs 7,000 and fled,” he said. The Bhargo camp police said footage of the CCTV cameras was being scanned to identify suspects.

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).
