Yamunanagar, May 23

Cracking a whip on mining mafia, a team of the Chief Minister’s flying squad last night caught five tippers and an earth-moving machine, which were allegedly found involved in illegal mining activities in the Ranjitpur area of Yamunanagar district.

These were handed over to the Ranjitpur police post in the district. The flying squad raided Bhatuwala village and caught five tippers and the earth-moving machine allegedly involved in the illegal activity.

“With the help of the earth-moving machine, the tippers were being illegally loaded with mining mineral from a shamlat/panchayat land in Bhatuwala village of the district,” said Dinesh Sharma, an official of the flying squad.

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).
