Police on Sunday seized 17 vehicles, including 11 excavators, used for illegal mining in a river in Kulgam district of Jammu and Kashmir.

An official spokesperson said information about illegal mining was received by police, following which teams were formed to take action. “Acting tough against those involved in illegal extraction and transportation of minerals, police along with the Department of Geology and Mining seized 17 vehicles — 11 excavators and six trucks — in Kulgam,” he said. The raids were carried out in Thokerpora, Ashmuji and Bhan, he added.

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).
