Amritsar, May 2

The Border Security Force deployed on ‘kisan security duty’ recovered heroin lying abandoned in the fields ahead of the border fence on the India-Pakistan border falling under Amritsar sector on Monday.

According to information, three packets containing the suspected narcotics was discovered by the BSF troops while a farmer was cutting stubble and tying the fodder.

Three packets were concealed inside a pair of dark blue socks. Search of the area was still on. No arrest was made.

On Sunday, heroin weighing 1.02 kg was recovered from a farmer, identified as Dilbag Singh of Hardo Rattan village. He was returning after working in the field.

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).
