New Delhi, July 10

The National Commission for Scheduled Castes on Saturday issued a notice to Uttar Pradesh DGP and Chief Secretary in an incident involving extreme atrocity on a Dalit and sought an action taken report immediately.

The commission took cognisance of the alleged crime involving insertion of an object into private parts of a Dalit in Sarwan Kheda pocket of Kanpur Dehat and sought the state police and administration to explain the lapse.

“It is a shameless, brutal, inhuman and unpardonable act,” said Vijay Sampla, chairman of the commission.— TNS

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).
