Caption: Figure 1.

Imaging polarimetric observations at 53 (top) and 89 μm (bottom). Flux (grayscale) and polarization (red vector) with the uncertainty (thin red solid vector) in the PA of polarization within the beam size (black circles) are shown. Orange contours start at 3σ and increases in steps of 3σ. Radio-jet axis (blue dashed line) with a ﹩{\rm{P}}.{\rm{A}}{.}_{\mathrm{jet}}\sim 284^\circ ﹩ (Sorathia et al. 1996) is shown.
