Two unidentified persons wearing masks opened fire at a grocery shop at Mari Mustafa village in Moga district on Friday evening. According to the police, the assailants targeted shop owner Seepa Singh, who had been under security cover following threats from a USA-based youth hailing from the same village. While Singh escaped unhurt, the police employee deployed as his security guard sustained injuries. Villagers said Singh’s family had strained relations with the family of the USA-based youth, who had allegedly issued the threats. The police have rounded up the youth’s father for questioning.

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).
