Abohar, March 3

A team of the Anti-Corruption Board (ACB) on Friday arrested Subhash Saharan, Regional Deputy Director, Agricultural Marketing Board, Hanumangarh, while allegedly taking a bribe of Rs 1 lakh for giving permission to a cotton factory to resume work. The ACB team had laid a trap at a shop to nab Sharan.

In his complaint to the ACB, the complainant had alleged that Subhash Saharan was harassing him by demanding a bribe of Rs 2 lakh for recommending to the District Industries Centre to give permission to resume his cotton factory work and give exemption from the penalty.

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).
