Tarn Taran, January 22

A team of the local CIA staff led by sub-inspector Balwinder Singh arrested three drug smugglers who were on a motor-cycle without a number plate.

The police team recovered 270 grams of heroin and cash worth Rs 1.53 lakh in drug money from the possession of the smugglers. Police said that the smugglers have been identified as Nasib Singh of Gandiwind Saran, Jaikas Singh and Harpal Singh, residents of Sanghna.

Police officer Balwinder Singh said that the cops were conducting a routine checking of vehicles when the suspected smugglers were signalled to stop. A search led to the seizure of heroin and drug money. The smugglers were produced in court on Monday and sent to two-day police remand.

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).
