Patiala, April 13

In a rare cache, a rescue team of the Forest Department has seized two parrots and arrested one person in this connection. Officials of the Forest Department said they found two parrots — a large Indian parakeet and a rose-ringed parakeet — from the “Unique Pet World” in Rajpura town of the Patiala district.

On a tip-off, forest officials raided an aviary “Unique Pet World” and found the parakeets which were illegal as per the Wildlife Act. The accused has been identified as Trivedi Parth Jagdishbhai, owner of “Unique Pet World”. Officials said the accused had violated Sections 39 (3), 50 and 51 of the Wildlife Protection Act, 1972. —

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).
