A giant fish weighing 86 kg, kept in a shop here, is the talk of the town across the city with people making a beeline to catch a glimpse of it.

The fish, Yellow Tuna arrived from Mangaluru in Karnataka on Tuesday morning at the shop of Kabir in Ramanathapuram area here and had to be unloaded by more than five people.

People from nearby areas thronged the shop to have a look of the huge fish.

The shop had a few months ago received a fish weighing 56 kg from Kerala, Kabir, who bought the giant fish at an auction, said.

After cleaning, the fish would have a weight of around 50 to 55 kg and one kg can be sold at Rs 250, he claimed. PTI

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).
