Mohali, October 30

Concerned over illegal mining going on in the district, Rajinder Singh Badheri, National Delegate of the All-India Jatt Mahasabha and Director, Punjab Mandi Board, urged the SSP Satinder Singh to curb the mining mafia.

Badheri stated that the SSP said the police had been vigilant when the matter came to his notice and several JCB machines had been seized and legal action had been taken against the culprits.

Badheri said farmers of the Majri and Kharar blocks in Mohali district were upset. People informed him that mining contractors were also disturbed by the mining mafia.

He said the SSP had asked DSP Mahesh Inder Singh to coordinate with him to deal with the mining mafia with utmost readiness. — TNS

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).
