The contraband in custody of BSF troops and the police in Amritsar.

BSF troops in collaboration with Punjab Police carried out an extensive search operation in a suspected area and seized heroin. The search culminated at about 8.30 am leading to the recovery of one packet of suspected heroin (gross weight 492 grams) along with some medicines wrapped in transparent tape with three illumination strips and a steel ring attached to the packet. This recovery took place near a cattle shed adjacent to Dhariwal village.

The successful operation was the result of reliable information and well-coordinated follow-up actions by the BSF and Punjab Police, which thwarted yet another attempt of the narco-syndicate to smuggle drugs in Punjab.

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).
