Sangrur, January 12

Torn pages of “Gutka Sahib” were found at a religious place in the fields of the district’s Bhattiwal Kalan village today, the police said.

Locals said pages were found at “Shaheeda di Samadh” on the Naraingarh road. Harjinder Majhi, president, Darbar-e-Khalsa, said: “Sacrilege incidents are happening as there is no fear of police among criminals.”

Bhawanigarh SHO Pardeep Bajwa said a case had been registered. “It is suspected that accused wanted to steal money as locks were found broken,” he 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.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
