Keeping in view Ghallughara Week, teams of the Commissionerate Police, Amritsar city police and Anti Riot Force (ARF) have increased the vigil in the city. On the instructions of the Commissioner Police to maintain law and order, flag marches are being conducted in various areas of the city to create a sense of security among the residents.

Besides, the police officials claimed that adequate security arrangements had been made in the city. Around 60 checkpoints in the inner, outer and walled city areas had been established. Twenty-hour shift-wise special nakas were being carried out and every vehicle was being thoroughly checked and suspicious persons were being interrogated.

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 four 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 paper. 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).
