A man was injured and taken to the hospital today when a drug addict attacked him with a pair of scissors.

Devinder Kumar, paternal uncle of the victim Malkit, said that he was working as a guard at a government health clinic. When he was away for two days from the clinic in Haibowal area, a few youths started taking drugs there.

When he returned, he and his nephew Malkit asked them not to come. On Thursday, one of the addicts, Sandeep Kumar, reportedly a hair dresser, came to the clinic and when he saw Malkit, he attacked him with a pair of scissors. The latter was taken to the Civil Hospital.

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).
