The police have arrested Mukhtiar Singh of Sher Singh Wala village in Guru Har Sahai subdivision of Ferozepur district on the charge of illegal sand mining. A sand-laden tractor-trailer was also confiscated from him. A naka was laid near Tahla Sahib Gurdwara here and he was arrested while on way to Shamas Din Chishti village. He has been booked under Section 303(2) of the BNS and Section 21(3) of the Mines and Mineral Act at the Amirkhas 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).
