Abohar, April 7

The Rajasthan Police have arrested driver Rajdeep Khatri (27) of Bathinda’s Jethuke and his assistant Rajpal Singh (28) of Moga’s Samalsar under Sections 188, 269 and 34 of the IPC for ferrying 18 persons from Jaisalmer to Punjab in violation of the lockdown restrictions. The truck in which they were travelling has been impounded under the Motor Vehicles Act.

The police said the truck was intercepted near Nokha terminal along the Bikaner-Sriganganagar highway on Monday evening. Both staff and passengers would have to undergo quarantine period for 14 days.

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).
