The Static Surveillance Team (SST) of the Election Commission has seized diamonds, gold and silver jewellery costing around Rs 24 crore near a toll booth in Ahilyanagar district of poll-bound Maharashtra, an official said on Saturday.

The seizure was made on Thursday morning near the Supa toll plaza, he said.

SSTs have been deployed across Maharashtra in view of the November 20 Assembly elections. “The consignment of diamonds, gold and silver jewellery was recovered from a vehicle in which three persons were travelling,” the police said.

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).
