Hoshiarpur, December 25

Three persons have been booked for allegedly poaching a deer at Hajipur village in the forest area of Garhshankar subdivision of Hoshiarpur district, the police said on Monday.

The police have booked Vicky, Ravi Kumar and Sahil, all from Bilron village, and charged them under provisions of the Wild Life (Protection) Act.

Forest Range Officer (Wildlife Division, Garhshankar) Rajpal said the trio allegedly hunted a deer with dogs near a temple in the forest area.

A team from the Wildlife Department on Sunday recovered the carcasses of a deer and a pitbull from the spot. The poachers, however, managed to flee, the police said.

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.
