Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee (PPCC) chief and Ludhiana MP Amrinder Singh Raja Warring has claimed that there was a deep-rooted network of around 150 police officers in the state who are thriving irrespective of the government in power.

Addressing the workers during a contact programme at Sanaur, he said, “There are 150 police officers, including eight SSP-rank officials, 25 SPs, 35 DSPs and 50 SHOs, who implicate innocent party workers of the Opposition on the directions of those in power.”

He said that such laws should be introduced where the accountability of officers should be fixed so that action could be taken against the erring officer for falsely implicating those aligning with the opposition parties.

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).
