The police’s Crime Branch apprehended three prime suspects allegedly involved in an attack on mining officials. The incident took place on Tuesday morning in the screening plant zone near Tangri bridge, Raipur Rani.

The attack occurred when officials from the Mining Department and police personnel were stationed at a checkpoint in Raipur Rani to curb illegal mining. At around 3 am on May 20, a group of young men approached the site on foot. One of them fired a shot from a pistol, which narrowly missed, passing over the head of a staff member.

The group then physically assaulted the on-duty personnel, leaving one, Praveen Yadav, seriously injured.

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).
