Chandigarh, May 29

The Border Security Force (BSF) and the Punjab Police, in a joint search operation, seized 4.2 kg narcotics, suspected to be heroin, near Dal village along the International Border in Tarn Taran district today.

According to BSF officials, metal hooks attached to the seized consignment indicated that it was dropped using a drone. The operation was carried out on the basis of specific information received by the security agencies.

Today’s incident takes the seizure of narcotics along the border belt in Punjab over the past two days to 10.3 kg, along with two drones being shot down and a suspected smuggler being apprehended.

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).
