Punjab Police have sounded high alert to prevent further sacrilege incidents while asking the managements of religious places to hand over any suspect to the police for proper investigation.

The police have increased presence of personnel at religious places and asked their managements to explore installing sensor lights and alarms besides CCTV cameras. “Any incident of sacrilege provokes strong emotions. We have appealed to managements of shrines to hand over the suspects to the police. Many mystery cases have been solved only because the accused was caught alive,” said an officer. — TNS

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).
