Faridabad, December 28

Claiming to have busted a mining racket, the police have arrested two persons in connection with illegal mining of sand from the Yamuna here. A case has been registered.

According to police official Sube Singh, the accused were identified as Monu and Mujideen, hailing from Nachauli and Dhauj villages in the district, respectively. They were arrested after a police team intercepted trucks carrying sand at a naka around midnight last night. Two accused were arrested by the police after a brief chase. The third accused, however, managed to flee. While all three trucks loaded with sand were impounded, a hunt was launched to nab the third accused and the owner of the trucks, added Singh.

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).
