Bongaigaon (Assam), Aug 31

The authorities today demolished a madrasa in Bongaigaon district after allegations that its premises were being used for terror activities.

Several bulldozers were seen demolishing Markazul MaArif Quariayana Madrasa located at Kabaitary Part IV village, which falls under the Jogighopa police station. The Bongaigaon district administration deployed security personnel in force in the area.

This is the third madrasa to be razed by the Assam Government following the arrest of 37 persons, including an imam and madrasa teachers, on charges of being linked to terror outfits Al-Qaida in Indian Subcontinent (AQIS) and Ansarullah Bangla Team (ABT).

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).
