Chandigarh, January 6

A commission set up by the Punjab government for looking into the alleged security breach during the Prime Minister’s Punjab visit, has shot off a questionnaire to all police functionaries involved in the process of maintaining security, including the state Director General of Police.

The commission headed by Justice Mehtab Singh Gill has set 5 pm on Thursday as deadline for the response.

Refusing to comment on the issue, Justice Gill asserted: “On the face of it, the matter appears to be of a very serious nature. Prima facie, there is a lapse somewhere, which the committee will look into before fixing the responsibility.”

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).
