The police in poll-bound Uttar Pradesh on Tuesday busted four illegal arms manufacturing units across the state and seized over 50 weapons along with ammunition in large quantities, officials said.

Six persons involved in running the illegal units were arrested during the action that took place separately in Sitapur, Fatehpur, Firozabad and Muzaffarnagar districts, the officials said.

“In Sitapur, three persons were arrested. Eight firearms were seized from the unit located in the Rampur Mathura area of the district,” a senior officer said. “In Muzaffarnagar, one person was arrested from the unit set up in the Budhana area of the district. As many as 24 weapons, including completed and unfinished, were seized from the spot,” the officer said. — 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).
