Karnal, November 18

The Karnal administration has conducted a successful trial of using drones to keep a check on illegal mining in the villages along the Yamuna. Drone surveillance was carried out in Sadarapur village of the district on the intervening night of Thursday and Friday.

“To keep a vigil on illegal mining, we will use drones. A trial was carried out in the area from where we have been receiving complaints of illegal mining. The trial was successful as we obtained good quality video footage with the help of drones even during the night,” said Anish Yadav, Deputy Commissioner.

“In the video footage, not only the person, but even the vehicle can also be easily identified,” he added.

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).
