The drive disposal committee headed by Deputy Commissioner of Police Parminder Singh Bhandal today destroyed the drugs seized by the city police in the past.

The contraband was destroyed by incineration at Khanna Paper Mill here. Besides Bhandal, other members of the team were present on the occasion including ADCP (Detective) HS Dhaliwal and ACP (Detective) Gurinderpal Singh Nagra.

Bhandal said the police destroyed 4-kg heroin, 110-gm charas, 3.8-kg ganja, 5.2 kg of narcotic powder, 3.5 kg of poppy husk, 5.5-kg bhang, 9,290 intoxicant tablets and 9,117 capsules. He said the drugs were confiscated in 120 cases registered with the city police.

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).
