Khalra police led by sub-inspector Lakhbir Singh searched the fields of a farmer Baljinder Singh of Mari Kamboke village in Thursday after receiving a tip-off and recovered heroin weighing 512 gram and a broken drone. Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) Abhimanyu Rana said that the packet and the drone had come from across the border. The police have registered a case under section of 21-C, 61, 85 of the NDPS Act and section 10, 11 and 12 of the Aircraft Act.

In another instance, the Pacha Pakka police led by sub-inspector Balraj Singh arrested a car-borne person, Manpreet Singh Manna of Kot Budha village, with 90 gram of heroin. Jugraj Singh of Patti and Gurjit Singh, residents of Kairon, were arrested with 13 grams of heroin by the Patti city police led by sub-inspector Manpreet Kaur, added the SSP.

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).
