Faridkot, August 4

Harbhagwan Singh (35), a member of anti-drug campaign committee, was allegedly killed by drug peddlers on Friday.

The deceased, a resident of Dhilwan Khurd village, Faridkot, was shot during a tiff between the drug peddlers and committee members today.

The residents said they had formed a panel to keep tabs on peddlers in the village. They said members of the committee got information that a family involved in peddling received contraband and when the former opposed, peddlers opened fire at Harbhagwan. Faridkot SSP Harjeet Singh said the police teams had been dispatched to nab the main culprit and his associates.

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).
