The police have arrested a man and seized two 9 mm Glock pistols allegedly smuggled from Pakistan.

Acting on a tip-off, a patrol team nabbed Gulshan Masih, a resident of Shahpur village of Gurdaspur, with illegal weapons near Sadhuwala village in Faridkot.

The police said the weapons had reportedly entered Punjab through cross-border channels. A case under Sections 25, 54 and 59 of the Arms Act had been registered and further investigation was underway.

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).
