Rampur, August 27

The Forest Department, along with the police, started a drive to remove encroachments in Nankhari on Tuesday. A mock drill was also conducted. As per Rampur Divisional Forest Officer Yashpal Singh, the High Court had ordered the removal of the encroachments after receiving reports of unauthorised occupation of forest land by 22 persons.

Residents of Nankhari were instructed to deposit their firearms as a precautionary measure ahead of the drive. The administration has notified the 22 individuals to vacate the forest land before August 27. After the deadline, the department will take steps to remove encroachments by August 30.

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).
