The Border Security Force (BSF) and the Anti-Narcotics Task Force (ANTF), Amritsar, in a joint operation have nabbed two smugglers and seized 1.1 kg of narcotics from their possession.

BSF Intelligence Wing officials received and shared information regarding a possible smuggling attempt involving some suspects on the Amritsar border.

At approximately 10.10 pm on Tuesday, the joint team established a check-point near Chota Fatehwal village in the district.

During the operation, two Indian smugglers were apprehended along with two packets of suspected heroin weighing 1.100 kg and a motorcycle.

Both suspects are residents of Sarang Dev village under the Ajnala police station. They are currently in the custody of the ANTF, Amritsar, for further investigation.

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).
