Amritsar, June 28

Amritsar Police have arrested three drug peddlers and confiscated over 9 kg heroin from their possession in two separate instances.

In the first case, Chheharta Police has apprehended two drug smugglers from Shiva Enclave area in Rajasansi in rural Amritsar while in the second case, Ranjit Avenue Police has arrested a drug smuggler and recovered 1 kg heroin.

Separate FIRs under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985, have been registered and investigations are going on to establish backward and forward linkages, DGP Gaurav Yadav said.

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).
