A 22-year-old youth of Mataur village died due to a suspected drug overdose. The victim, Sonu, had gone to look for a hob with his friends but was allegedly dropped off near his house unconcious hours later.

Mataur station house officer Inspector Amandeep Kamboj said, “The suspect died at GMCH-32. The body has been handed over to the kin after post-mortem.” The police denied recieving a complaint.

The victim was the family’s sole earning hand. His father had died a few months ago. "This is the third drug-related death in past five months in the area," claimed Shivani, the victim's sister.

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).
