Ropar, September 18

Local stone crusher and screening plant operators have decided to protest the new mining rules at the District Administrative Complex on September 23.

Ajwinder Singh, district chief, Stone Crusher and Screening Plant Association, said, “The government in its new mining policy has increased the registration fee of crushers to Rs 1 lakh annually and has asked us to deposit a security of Rs 5 lakh.”

Mining Department XEN Gurpreet Singh said crusher and washing plant owners never discussed these issues with him. “I’ll discuss it with the higher-ups.”

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).
