Lucknow/Amethi, July 19

Four persons have been arrested in Amethi after a woman and her daughter set themselves on fire outside the Chief Minister’s office in Lucknow, alleging police inaction in a case of dispute over a drain, the police said on Sunday.

However, the condition of the woman and her daughter continued to be critical, a senior doctor said.

Circle officer of Gauriganj Arpit Kapoor said, “Four persons were arrested yesterday. They have been identified as Arjun, Sunil, Rajkaran and Ram Milan.”

The police said the accused were involved in a dispute with Safia and Gudia over the usage of the drain. A case was registered against them under relevant sections of IPC on May 9. — 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).
