Ludhiana, November 24

The Income Tax department conducted raids on leading jewellers here on Thursday.

Several teams from the department simultaneously raided the premises of the leading names — Nikkamal Jewellers, Sardar Jewellers and Mani Ram Balwant Rai Jewellers — including the houses and showrooms, in the wee hours of Thursday.

The teams were accompanied by police.

There was panic among jewellers in the city as word spread. The shutters of the showrooms were down and the mobile phones were switched off.

It is expected that the raids, conducted under the supervision of the Directorate, Investigation, will continue till evening.

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).
