The district police have registered a case against Ganga Stone Crusher at nearby Naya Nangal after mining activity was noticed near it. Five tippers loaded with sand and gravel and a loader involved in the illegal mining were also seized from the spot.

According to Naya Nangal police chowki incharge SI Inderjit Singh, a complaint regarding illegal mining near Ganga Stone Crusher was lodged by Navpreet Singh, a sub-divisional officer of the drainage and mining department, yesterday. When the police reached the spot, they found sand and gravel were being loaded in tippers. The police impounded the five tippers and a loading machine while the drivers fled the spot, he said.

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).
