The Malerkotla Judicial Complex received a bomb threat email on Monday afternoon.

Though the official work was disrupted for the day, the district police, led by SSP Gagan Ajit Singh, and personnel at the court, cordoned-off the complex and held an intensive screening of almost all parts of premises.

Malerkotla DSP Manavjit Singh Sidhu said an email threatening a bomb blast at the judicial complex was received, following which alert was sounded.

“Having received information about the threat we reached the complex and got it vacated in a systematic manner,” said Sidhu, claiming that no objectionable item was received during the operation.

Anti-sabotage teams, bomb squad and dog squad were deployed during the operation, he said.

The DSP appreciated lawyers for facilitating the eviction process launched by the police.

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).
