The Amritsar (Rural) police have arrested two drug peddlers in separate incidents and recovered 1.335kg of heroin along with two pistols and a car from their possession here on Friday.

Acting on a tip-off about Pardeep Singh of Kiampura village having links with Pakistan-based smugglers and retrieval a consignment of drugs by him, the CIA staff arrested him from the Ram Tirath Road area. The police seized 1.335kg of heroin and a car from his possession.

In the second incident, the Lopoke police arrested Sukhchain Singh, alias Chanan, of Bachiwind village, after recovering a 9mm Glock pistol, a .30 bore pistol and magazines from him.

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).
