Amritsar, August 18

Amritsar rural police have arrested Manga Singh of Bhindi Saida for allegedly possessing 1,060 intoxicating tablets. He was arrested from near Budha Dariya canal. He could not produce any documents regarding the medicines and therefore a case was registered against him. He was travelling in an Innova car when he was intercepted by the police.

In another incident, the rural police nabbed three persons with heroin. Akashbir Singh of Bhangwa village was arrested with 100 grams of heroin while Harpinder Singh and Rajbir Singh were held with 60 grams and 20 grams of heroin, respectively.

Separate cases under the NDPS Act were registered against them.

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).
