A heated argument between two parties escalated to such an extent that a 71-year-old man fired shots from his licensed weapon at Islam Ganj here. Though no lives were lost during the incident, it created an atmosphere of fear in the area.

A complaint regarding the same was filed at Police Division 2, after which the police took the elderly man into custody.

SHO Gurjit Singh said the police were probing the matter.

As per sources, a land dispute was going on between the two parties in the area. A fierce argument erupted between the neighbours over a construction-related dispute, leading to the incident.

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).
