Four floors of Raja Tower in Fountain Chowk, all except the ground floor, were robbed. Taranjit Chawla, owner, said he has rented out the ground floor to a firm that deals in gold. The remaining floors are being used by him. Chawla suspected the thieves entered from the first floor ventilator to steal gold and other valuables kept at the ground floor. They broke the main locks on all four floors and ransacked the almirahs.

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).
