Amritsar, December 2

The Lopoke police have arrested four persons on the charge of illegal mining. The police have also seized four tractor-trolleys loaded with 1,600 cubic feet of sand.

ASI Narinder Singh said four tractors-trolleys were stopped at the Khasa turn near Ram Tirath during a checking.

He said the sand loaded in the trolleys was brought from an illegal sand mine on a water body in the area. The suspects have been identified as Manga Singh of Tera Rajputtan, Sukhjinder Singh and Angrej Singh of Talo village and Pyara Singh of Vehra.

A case under Sections 379 and 411 of the IPC and Section 21 of the Mining Act has been registered against the suspects.

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).
