Mansa, September 11

Drug activist Parminder Singh Jhote was released from Muktsar Jail this evening following a court order after the police and complainant took back the complaint.

The Anti-Drug Task Force declared the activist’s release a victory of their struggle.

Advocate Lakhwinder Lakhanpal said after the release of Jhote following government orders under heavy pressure, the Mansa police have removed all legal obstacles today.

The activist received a warm welcome on his release.

Since the arrest of Jhote, the NGOs along with anti drug committees have been staging protest seeking his release from the jail.

A few days back, when protesters had gone to gherao the residences of MLAs over the arrest, MLAs Budh Ram and Gurpreet Banawali had sought four days to resolve the issue. They had said that Jhote would be out of jail by Tuesday.

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).
