The Amritsar Rural Police have arrested a drug peddler, identified as Mangal Singh, alias Baba Manga, a resident of the border village of Daoke, and recovered 1 kg of heroin from his possession.

He was travelling on a bike when a team of the Gharinda police intercepted him following a tip-off. The police also seized his mobile phone and registered a case under the NDPS Act against him.

The police said he already had a drug smuggling case registered against him in September last year. They said investigations were in progress to ascertain his backward and forward links.

He was produced in a court and brought on police remand for interrogation.

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).
