Dehradun, October 26

Uttarakhand’s ex-DGP BS Sidhu and seven others have been booked for an illegal possession of forest land in Virgirwali village of Mussoorie and subsequently cutting 25 “sal” trees. The case has been registered at the Rajpur police station by Mussoorie Divisional Forest Officer Ashutosh Singh after getting permission from the state government, the police said.

A police officer said Sidhu had in 2012 bought one-and-a-half hectare and cut 25 sal trees reportedly.

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).
