Amritsar, June 7

The police on Friday destroyed heroin, narcotic powder, charas and other intoxicants through incineration at Khanna Paper Mills here.

Harpreet Singh Mander, Deputy Commissioner of Police, Investigations, led the police team that destroyed drugs. The drugs were destroyed after clearance from the drug disposal committee members led by Mander. He was accompanied by ADCP Navjot Singh and ACP Kuldeep Singh.

The DCP said the contraband was confiscated by the police in 62 cases in the past. The police destroyed 22.436 kg of heroin, 2.265 kg of narcotic powder, 1.345 kg of Charas, 10,760 intoxicant tablets, 27,606 of intoxicant capsules and 70 sedative injections.

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).
