In a crackdown on illegal mining, the district police and a team of the Mining Department launched a major operation around 5 am today at the Lachowal Chadiyal village choe on the Hoshiarpur-Tanda road. On seeing the team of officials, the suspects doing illegal mining fled from the spot.

The police impounded six trucks and two JCB machines left on the spot by the suspects doing illegal mining. DSP Talwinder said acting on the instructions of SSP Surendra Lamba, all machinery was impounded and parked at the Bullowal police station.

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).
