The Khalra police and BSF jawans in a joint search operation launched in the fields of Rajoke village seized 504 grams of heroin here on Sunday.

SSP Abhimanyu Rana said on Monday that the police received an information in this regard and it was shared with the BSF. The joint team recovered the contraband from the fields.

The SSP said there are reports that the consignment was brought from across the border through a drone. The district police head said a case under Sections 21-C, 61 and 85 of the NDPS Act and Sections 10, 11 and 12 of the Aircraft Act has been registered by the Khalra police and the police have initiated proceedings to locate the drug trader who had brought it from the border.

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).
