Amritsar, November 24

The CIA staff in a joint operation with Amritsar Central Jail authorities nabbed a man involved in throwing prohibited materials inside the jail here today.

The accused has been identified as Mohit Singh of Fateh Singh Colony here. The police seized 30-gm heroin, four mobile phones, an adaptor, 101 packets of bidis, one bundle of cigarette and one packet of tobacco from his possession.

The police have registered a case under Sections 21-B, 61 and 85 of the NDPS Act. The police said the accused was arrested following a tip-off. He was produced in a court and brought on police remand for further investigation.

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).
