Tarn Taran, June 9

Avtar Singh, head of Gurdwara Dal (Organisation) Baba Bidhi Chand sect, Sursingh, condemned the district police for registering two cases against as many as 100 followers of the sect with regard to a property dispute.

The cases were registered on the complaint of his younger brother Gurbachan Singh, who had been demanding share in the sect property.

Avtar Singh today organised a gathering and accused the police of disturbing the peaceful atmosphere for vested interests. He demanded the cancellation of cases registered against the followers. He warned the police of protests in case the FIRs were not withdrawn. — OC

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).
