Launching a crackdown on the illegal sand mining, the Ajnala police have arrested three persons with a truck, a tipper, canter and 3.5 hundred cubic tons of illegally excavated sand from them.

They were identified as Gurpreet Singh alias Gora, a resident of Chaharpur village falling under Ramdas police station, Sakatar Singh of Sahowal village and Harpreet Singh alias Happy of Sarangdev village.

Maninder Singh, SSP Amritsar rural, said the police recovered a truck (PB02-EB-7173), a tipper (PB05- AK-9227), Canter (PB06-V-1658) and a huge quantity of sand from them during the crackdown.

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).
