Kathua, February 12

Officials from the Geology and Mining Department today sealed four stone crushers on the banks of river Ujh in Kathua district.

The officials also seized a machine of GREF, which was extracting the material within the 500-meter radius of Ujh bridge. “The three stone crushers that were operating in the Pandori area and another near Kotpunnu, both on the bank of Ujh have been sealed despite the ban in the district,” a district mining officer said.— OC

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).
