Amritsar, August 23

The Amritsar (Rural) police have seized 526 gm of heroin from Bhupinder Singh, a resident of Rorawala Khurd village, falling under the Gharinda police station here.

An official said a police team received information that Bhupinder, who was involved in drug peddling, was standing at a bus stand on the Khasa road.

The police raided the designated spot and arrested Bhupinder. During a search, the police recovered 526 gm of heroin from his possession, the official said.

“A case under the NDPS Act has been registered against the suspect, the official said. “Further investigation into the matter is in progress,” the official added.

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).
