The Amritsar rural police have arrested two persons with over 500 gm of heroin and Rs 80,000 of drug money from their possession. They were identified as Sukhchain Singh, alias Kala, and Gurpreet Singh, alias Sonu, of Jhanjhoti village in Rajasansi.

They were travelling in a car (PB-46-X-9473) when they were intercepted by a police party. The police also seized three mobile phones from their possession.

A case under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act has been registered in this connection and a probe was on to ascertain the source of the contraband. Their backward and forward links were being identified and more seizures are likely to be made in the near future.

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).
