Una, March 26

The Una Forest department on Wednesday recovered 24 logs of illegally cut khairwood from government forest area in Majhiar village of the Amb forest range.

Assistant Conservator of Forests (ACF) Rahul Sharma said the freshly cut logs were found lying on the forest floor by a team led by Amb Forest Range Officer Ashish Dhiman. He said six stumps of khair trees were identified near the spot.

The ACF said all the logs had been seized and their market value has been assessed at Rs 80,000. He said a case under Sections 32 and 33 of the Indian Forest Act and Section 379 IPC has been registered.

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).
