Solan, September 16

In a crackdown on illegal mining, the Baddi police seized two mini-trucks, a tractor and an earth excavation machine from three places.

DSP, Baddi, Navdeep Singh said that a penalty of Rs 25,000 had been imposed on the owners of the impounded vehicles. A mini-truck was found transporting illegally quarried material near the Sirsa river while a tractor was impounded at Androla village.

An earth mover and another mini-truck were impounded at Barotiwala. The owners of the mini-truck and the earth excavation machine were yet to pay the penalty.

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).
