Ropar, January 9

A home guard jawan was shot at during a scuffle with ATM robbers late Saturday night.

The injured was identified as Krishan Lal.

According to Ropar SSP Vivek Sheel Soni, a police party was patrolling in Pull Bazar area around 1.30 a.m. when they noticed some suspicious activity in the Axis Bank ATM kiosk. When Krishan Lal went inside the kiosk, he found that two unidentified persons were trying to break open the ATM. When he tried to nab them, one of the accused fired at him, inflicting injury on his arm. The accused later fled the spot.

Krishan Lal has been admitted to the PGI, Chandigarh, and is out of danger, SSP Soni said, adding that search for the accused is on.

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).
