The Supreme Court on Wednesday made it clear that there can’t be any mining activities within a radius of 1 km from the boundaries of critical tiger reserves, saying violators would face contempt of court

A Bench led by Justice BR Gavai reiterated its April 26, 2023, verdict in which it had directed that mining within a national park and wildlife sanctuary and within an area of 1 km from their boundary shall not be permissible

The court was hearing an application seeking a direction to the Rajasthan Government to stop alleged mining activities in violation of an April 26, 2023, judgment.

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).
