Amritsar, July 30

The Amritsar rural police and Border Security Force (BSF) personnel recovered a quadcopter drone and 2.57 grams of heroin from the fields of Bachiwind village near the Indo-Pak border today. The security forces had launched a joint search operation.

Acting on the basis of intelligence reports, teams from the Lopoke police station along with BSF troops searched the fields alongside the border in the village. Police are investigating the matter after the recovery of drugs and drone. A search operation has been organised to nab those who were to receive the supply of narcotics.

A case has been registered under relevant sections of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) at Lopoke police station.

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).
