Amritsar, May 4

The Takht Sri Patna Sahib Management Board has received a letter threatening to blow up Gurdwara Baal Lila, located near the Takht, if Rs 50 crore was not paid as ransom. The threat letter has been handed over to the Patna police by the board.

The sender has identified himself as Ranjan Kumar, a resident of Mahatma Gandhi Nagar, Patna, and even mentioned a contact number. The letter addressed to the general secretary of the board cautioned him against involving the police in the matter for the sake of his life. Jagjit Singh Jaggi, administrator of the board, said a complaint had been lodged with the police by the general secretary seeking necessary action.

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).
