Hisar, April 7

The Hisar police have seized a mini-truck full of sandalwood trunks from a resident of Dhani Jatan Mangali village in the district on Wednesday. The goods weighed 1,513 kg, having 195 pieces of wooden trunks.

The accused was identified as Dharambir, a resident of Dhani Jatan Mangali village. He was produced in court, which remanded him to 10-day police custody.

A forest department official had lodged a complaint with the Azad Nagar police station, after which a case was registered under Sections of the IPC and various Sections of the Indian Forest Act against the accused. —

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).
