Lawyers in the city are set to resume work after the registration of an FIR against suspects who allegedly threatened city-based advocate Harjas Singh Gill at gunpoint. However, the delay in police action paralysed the court functioning for two consecutive days as the legal fraternity observed a complete boycott in protest.

The DBA had called for a No Work Day on August 4 and 5, slamming the police for inaction despite serious allegations. The incident took place on July 27 near Sarabha Nagar, where Gill was allegedly threatened by miscreants linked to a political outfit. The FIR was registered after mounting pressure from the legal community. The Police Division 5 on Tuesday registered a case agianst Sunny Gill of Dugri and four unidentified persons, who reportedly threatened the lawyer.

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).
