Jhajjar, June 16

Over 2,000 kg of sandalwood worth Rs70 lakh being smuggled in a canter was seized by the police near Sampla bypass on Monday night. The canter driver has been arrested.

Deputy Superintendent of Police Shamsher Singh informed they got a tip-off that a canter carrying sandalwood was coming towards Jhajjar city from Gurugram. A police team was immediately deputed at Sampla bypass. It launched a vehicle checking operation and seized the canter.

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).
