Chandigarh, April 25

Close on the heels of sealing six stone crushers in Khera Kalmot area of Ropar last week, the Mining department of Punjab has ordered all stone crushers to paint the number 1800 180 2422, prominently, at their mining sites for the knowledge of the general public,

The toll free number can be used by the general public for lodging their complaints regarding illegal sand mining in their area. They can also put complaints regarding exorbitant prices of sand, if any.

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).
