Srinagar, December 4

Acting tough against the people involved in the illegal extraction and transportation of minerals, the police have arrested eight persons and seized an equal number of vehicles in Budgam.

A police party of the Budgam police station, during an overnight patrolling at Mamath, seized six tippers and arrested six persons.

The arrested persons have been identified as Mohd Abass Mir, Ishfaq Ahmad Paul, Danish Bashir Teli, Mohd Ashraf Ganie, Jamsheed Ahmad Dar and Zeeshan Abass Teli of Budgam.

Similarly, the Chadoora police have seized a JCB and a tipper and arrested their drivers for extracting soil illegally in Kultreh.

A total of 92 FIRs have been registered and 238 persons arrested this year in Budgam for illegal mining.

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).
