Ludhiana, November 20

Panic grips among businessmen over the recent increase in kidnapping/extortion cases in the city. The kidnapping of businessman Sambhav Jain has sent shock waves following which the businessmen have decided to meet tomorrow to make arrangements for their own security as police had “failed” to provide them safe environment.

Tarun Jain Bawa, an uncle of Sambhav Jain and president, Textile Association, Bahadurke Road, said it was a fearful situation. “I did not send my son to the factory today. We have decided to meet as the government is doing nothing to provide peaceful environment. The other option remains that we will hand over keys of factories to the CM as in this situation, we cannot work,” said Bawa.

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).
