In view of ongoing national security concerns, the Faridkot district administration has set up dedicated control rooms to handle any crisis. Deputy Commissioner Poonamdeep Kaur informed that the district control room is active at the DC office (01639-250338), with additional numbers at DC Camp Office (01639-251000, 251024), and SSP Office control room (75270-17100).

The residents are urged to strictly follow blackout protocols — turn off all lights, cover security cameras, and ensure no light escapes from windows. Emergency lights should be used only in fully enclosed rooms with drawn curtains.

The DC emphasised that there is no need to panic, but urged everyone to remain alert, avoid rumours, and help others in emergencies. Response teams from all departments are on 24-hour standby. Public cooperation is vital for safety during this sensitive time.

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).
