Petrol pump dealers in Jalalabad have expressed growing resentment over the alleged inaction of the police following a series of looting incidents.

On December 23, three petrol pumps located along the Fazilka-Ferozepur road were targeted by burglars within a few hours, leading to the theft of Rs 42,000 in cash, mobile phones, and CCTV equipment from Josan Motors, Khurana HP Centre, and Baba Budha Filling Station.

Despite an FIR being filed against unidentified individuals, the police have yet to make any arrests. In response, the Petroleum Dealers Association held a meeting in Jalalabad to address the concerns.

Following the meeting, DSP Jalalabad Jatinder Singh and SHO Sachin Kumar assured the dealers that the police were reviewing nearby CCTV footage and were committed to apprehending the culprits soon.

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).
