The police have arrested two persons on the charge of illegal mining at Pandawala village. The duo was later released on bail. Investigating Officer ASI Mewa Singh said JE-cum-Mining Inspector Narinder Kumar informed them that illegal mining was going on at a private land at the village.

After getting information, the police raided the spot and arrested two persons who were carrying out mining with the help of a Poclain machine. The suspects have been identified as Jagdeep Singh, a resident of Mubarikpur, who was driving a Poclain, and Satprakash, a resident of Uttar Pradesh who was driving a tipper. — 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).
