A team of Mining Department and the police seized an excavator machine involved in the illegal mining.

District Mineral Officer Kathua (DMO) Rajinder Singh imposed Rs 9 lakh penalty on the excavator for illegal digging and excavation.

The excavator was seized from Palan Morh areas of Sahar Khad where riverbed mineral was dug and lifted to Shree Krishna Stone Crusher without seeking permission from the Mining Department.

The action was initiated on the complaint of some local people. The DMO informed that there are clear directions from Kathua DC to curb the practices of illegal mining in the district.

The DMO informed that three excavators have already been seized from the same locations for illegal excavation in the Khad in violation of the rules of the Geology and Mining Department.

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).
