Amritsar, January 13

The Customs (Preventive) Commissionerate, Amritsar, has seized gold weighing 599.9 gram from a passenger at Sri Guru Ram Das Jee International Airport.

Rahul Nangare, Commissioner of Customs (Amritsar), said the passenger arrived from Australia via Singapore by Scoot Airlines yesterday. He was searched when Customs officials found his movement suspicious.

On carrying out his personal search, raw gold weighing 599.9 gm in the shape of five kadas valued at Rs 33.71 lakh was seized.

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).
