Mumbai, March 4

The Maharashtra Government on Wednesday announced one-rank promotion for 14 policemen, who displayed “historic valour” during the 26/11 Mumbai terror attacks to capture terrorist Ajmal Kasab.

Home Minister Anil Deshmukh made the announcement while speaking to mediapersons outside the state legislature here.

“Tukaram Omble, who was martyred during the 26/11 attacks, and 14 other policemen had captured (terrorist) Ajmal Kasab alive. The government has decided to proffer one-rank promotion to the 14 policemen for showing historic valour,” he said.

On November 26, 2008, 10 Pakistani terrorists arrived in Mumbai by sea route and opened fire, killing 166 persons, including 18 security personnel, besides damaging property worth crores. – PTI

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).
