Amritsar, June 8

While carrying out area domination, the Border Security Force (BSF) troops of Amritsar sector found two packets of contraband, suspected to be heroin, here on Wednesday.

These two packets of the contraband were wrapped in a black adhesive tape and found near the International Border in the farming fields ahead of the border security fence in the area falling near Bharopal village in Amritsar district. The gross weight of the two packets of contrabands is 470 gram.

“Vigilant BSF troops are regularly carrying out area domination in their area to foil the nefarious attempts of anti-national elements to smuggle the contraband. The BSF is committed to fighting against drugs,” a senior BSF official 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).
