In a bid to check illegal mining, the district administration has ordered the Mining Department officials to replace the existing CCTV cameras at the interstate checkposts with automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) cameras.

Aashika Jain, DC, said the district would become the first in the state to have such a system. Apart from the existing three interstate checkposts set up at Siswan T-point, Daffarpur and Handesra, one more has been approved for the Derabassi-Barwala road. Twelve guards would also be hired from the Punjab Ex-Servicemen Corporation to deploy them on all four checkposts. The checkposts will make sure that any vehicle carrying mining material must have a QR code generated GST bill.

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).
