The district police arrested five persons with eight sand-filled tractor-trailers during a search operation from different villages on Saturday.

SSP Dhruman H Nimbale said the police parties conducted search at the river sides of Gazal, Jalalabad, Kotli and Bhalojla villages.

Jagdeep Singh, Ravneet Singh, Gurlal Singh, Lovepreet Singh and Sukha Singh were arrested with eight sand-filled tractor-trailers. They were booked under Section 379 of the IPC and Section 21-A of the Mining Act. The SSP said more accused would be arrested as four sand-filled tractor-trailers were lying unclaimed in the Mand area. — 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).
