In a joint search operation conducted by the police and the BSF on the intervening night of Saturday and Sunday, a packet containing 508 gm heroin was recovered from the fields of farmer Kashmir Singh in Dall village. Assistant Sub-Inspector (ASI) Kulwant Singh said that he had received information regarding the presence of the packet in the fields, which led to the successful recovery during the operation.

The ASI further revealed that the consignment was delivered via drone from Pakistan. A case has been registered under Sections 21-C, 61, and 85 of the NDPS Act.

In a separate incident, a team from the Chabal Police, led by Sub-Inspector Rani Kaur, arrested Rachhpal Singh Noni of Gaggo Bua village. He was found in possession of 77 gm heroin. A case has been registered under Sections 21-B, 61 and 85 of the NDPS Act.

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).
