Ropar, January 9

A Home Guards jawan was shot at during a scuffle with ATM robbers late last night.

The injured has been identified as Krishan Lal. According to Ropar SSP Vivek Sheel Soni, the police party was patrolling at Pull Bazaar around 1.30 am when they noticed some activity in the ATM kiosk of Axis Bank.

Lal, who went inside the kiosk, found that two unidentified persons were trying to break open the ATM. When he tried to nab them, one of the miscreants fired at him, injuring his arm, said the SSP. Following this, the duo fled the spot. Soni said Lal has been admitted to PGI, Chandigarh, and was out of danger. He said the police have initiated probe to nab the miscreants. — TNS

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).
