Acting on a tip-off, the Amritsar rural police have arrested a drug peddler with 1 kg of heroin. He was identified as Shagandeep Singh, alias Shagan, of Naushehra village falling under the Sarai Amanat Khan village in Tarn Taran district.

The police said he was arrested from Rajatal area when he was going to deliver the consignment of drugs on his bike (PB-46-AM-1655) which was also impounded.

A probe was on to find his backward and forward links and a case under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act was registered against 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).
