Faridkot, July 1

The police rounded up some persons, including Shiromani Akali Dal (Amritsar) president Simranjit Singh Mann, on Thursday after they reached Bargari, the epicentre of sacrilege incidents of 2015.

On June 1, at the assembly of many religious and political leaders at Bargari on the sixth anniversary of the sacrilege incident of Burj Jawahar Singh Wala, they had announced resuming the morcha from July 1 at Bargari.

Heavy police force was already deployed at Bargari and it rounded up Mann and six of his supporters.

Parminder Singh Grewal, Jaito DSP, said prohibitory orders on the assembly of five or more persons were already promulgated for Bargari, so the protesters were taken into preventive custody.

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).
