Fazilka, October 7

With members of the illegal mining mafia feeling the heat, they are now resorting to using fake Army stickers on vehicles to deceive the authorities and police.

Two vehicles bearing fake ‘on Army duty’ stickers were impounded recently by the authorities, but the accused fled the scene. A police patrol team at Asafwala said the Army intelligence informed them that a JCB machine and a tractor-trailer bearing fake Army stickers were being used for illegal sand mining. The suspect was identified as Raj Kumar of Beganwali village. A case under Section 21 of the Mines and Minerals (Development and Regulation) Act 1957, and Sections 379 and 420 of the IPC had been filed. Another case was filed at the Jalalabad police station against unidentified persons who fled after leaving behind a tractor-trailer laden with sand near Dhani Phoola Singh village. — OC

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).
