London, July 13

Scotland Yard on Monday revealed a recent beyond the routine duty undertaken by two of its officers, including an Indian-origin police constable, when they experienced a shift that took them from helping deliver a baby to an evening of lockdown breach disorder.

Police Constable Siobhan Singh and PC Isabella Taborro, from the Central West Command Unit of the Metropolitan Police, were working alongside the Violent Crime Taskforce to patrol areas of London.

Not long into their patrol on July 3, the officers saw a vehicle that appeared to be driving erratically as a man tried to urgently get his wife to hospital as she was in labour. The officers stayed with the couple in their hour of need until baby Clara was born. — 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).
