Three people carrying sand in tractors have been held for illegal sand mining in Udhowal village. Two sand tippers were seized from their possession.

Three vehicles filled with illegal sand were seized and the suspects were arrested on the spot.

The suspects were identified as Sukhdev Singh of Bagiwal village, Joginder Singh of Gosuwal and Ravinder Singh, also from Bagiwal.

An FIR was registered against the suspects under Sections 379 and 411 of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) at the Mehatpur police station on Saturday.

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).
