Security personnel from the Punjab Police and BSF carried out an extensive search operation in the courtyard of a house adjacent to Wan village in district Tarn Taran on Sunday.

Security forces recovered a packet suspected to be of heroin (gross weight 554 grams) wrapped in yellow adhesive tape with an improvised copper wire loop attached to it. The successful operation was the result of reliable information and well-coordinated action by the BSF and Punjab Police, which helped defeat yet another attempt by the narco-syndicate to smuggle drugs into 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).
