Tarn Taran, June 24

A Sabhra village resident allegedly died of drug overdose on the intervening night of Sunday and Monday. The deceased has been identified as Manpreet Singh (26).

Jassa Singh, father of the deceased, said his son went with his friend yesterday evening, had an overdose of drug and died. Inspector Gurpreet Singh, SHO, Patti Sadar, said the police visited Manpreet’s residence to record the statement of his family, but they refused by saying they did not want to pursue the case. The family members of the deceased alleged that drug trade was rampant in the area and there was no control over it.

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).
