A suspected land grabber was detained under the stringent Public Safety Act in Jammu on Saturday, police said.

Abdul Majeed alias Bittu Teli, a resident of Sunjwan, was shifted to the Amphalla district jail on the detention orders of the Jammu district magistrate, a police spokesperson said.

The dossier for the Public Safety Act (PSA) against Majeed was prepared by the forest department and the detention order executed by a team from the Channi police station, he said.

“Majeed is notorious for various illegal activities, including land grab by changing the specification of forest land. He was a habitual offender and involved in several land grab cases,” the spokesperson said.

He also warned of stern action against those resorting to illegal mining, land encroachments and other unlawful activities. —

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).
