Amritsar, December 4

The Gharinda police have arrested a drug peddler and confiscated 500 gm of heroin from his possession. He was identified as Gurpreet Singh, a resident of Ucha Killa Harsha Chhinna village.

Gurinderpal Singh Nagra, DSP, said a police team led by Sub-Inspector Dharminder Singh had laid up a naka on the outer periphery road of Rorawala village when they signalled a scooter to stop for checking. The driver however, took a U-turn and tried to flee, but he slipped.

During search, the police seized 500 gm of contraband from him. He was produced in a court and brought on police remand for further interrogation to ascertain his backward and forward links. The police also seized a ledger, parcel packing material and a mobile phone from him.

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).
