A team of the Anti-Narcotics Task Force (ANTF) has arrested a local resident, identified as Vishal Singh alias Vishal, a resident of Khemkaran in Tarn Taran and confiscated 511 gram of heroin from his possession yesterday.

Police said that they received a tip-off that the accused was involved in drug peddling on the Tarn Taran road in Amritsar and its adjoining areas. The police laid a trap and he was arrested while waiting for his clients.

During search in the presence of a DSP rank officer, the police team seized 511 grams of heroin. They said further probe was on to find out the source of the contraband.

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).
