Pathankot, January 9

The police cracked the whip against illegal mining by seizing three polcain machines and half-dozen tippers from near the Ravi river in the Narot Jaimal Singh area.

SSP Harkamal Preet Singh Khakhi said the police had information that unauthorised sand excavation was taking place at night in a village near Narot. “We informed the mining officials and conducted a joint raid.”

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).
