The Mohkampura police arrested three alleged drug peddlers, identified as Bakhshish Singh of Tung Pai on Batala Road, Mandeep Singh of Pawan Nagar and Gautam Agarwal of Judge Nagar here on Sunday. The police confiscated 35-gm heroin and Rs 5,000 of drug money from them. A case under provisions of the NDPS Act was registered against them while further probe was on to ascertain the source of the contraband.

Binder Singh, SHO, Mohkampura police station, said the accused were involved in drug trafficking in the area on Batala Road, besides different parts of the city. He said they were produced in a court, which remanded them in police custody.

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).
