Dera Bassi, April 2

Illegal mining of soil was allegedly being carried out in the fields of Kudanwala village on the Gulabgarh Behra road in broad daylight with the help of a JCB machine and half a dozen tippers.

The police seized a tipper in the evening for illegal mining. Earlier, people present at the spot did not allow the JCB to be driven away.

Dera Bassi SHO Kulbir Singh said, “On a complaint of mining officer Narotam Sharma, a case has been registered against unidentified miners and the farm owner. A search for him has been started. Any person engaged in illegal mining will not be spared.”

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).
