Korba, June 20

The Chhattisgarh police have registered a case against unidentified persons after an unusual incident of cow dung theft came to light at a village in Korba district. An officer said 800 kg of cow dung worth Rs 1,600 was stolen from Dhurena village on the intervening night of June 8-9.

“A formal complaint was lodged on June 15 by Kamhan Singh Kanwar, the head of village gauthan samiti,” said SHO Harish Tandekar.

The state government has been procuring cow dung at Rs 2 per kg under its ambitious Godhan Nyay Yojana for the production of vermicompost at gauthans. — PTI

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).
