A joint team of the Mines and Geology Department and Haryana State Enforcement Bureau has impounded two tippers and an earth moving machine involved in illegal mining activity from Dekriwala village. Dr Rajesh Kumar, Assistant Mining Engineer, Mines and Geology Department, Yamunanagar, said they had been receiving complaints related to illegal mining of minerals at Dekriwala village.

He said the illegally mined mineral was being sold at Belgarh Crusher Zone, situated close to the village. “For the past one week, the Mining Department, SHO of Pratap Nagar police station and state Enforcement Bureau had been making efforts to apprehend the persons and vehicles involved in illegal mining on the spot,” said Dr Rajesh Kumar.

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).
