Mohali, December 9

The police have destroyed a huge quantity of drugs seized in 55 cases registered in the district this year.

The contraband, mainly opium and poppy husk, was destroyed at a furnace in Punjab Chemical and Corporation Protection Limited at Bhankharpur village in Dera Bassi subdivision.

SSP Sandeep Kumar Garg said the contraband substances were destroyed in the presence of a committee headed by him, along with SP Amandeep Singh Brar and DSP Gursher Singh Sandhu.

Brar said the destroyed drugs included 26.28 kg of opium, hashish (2.85 kg), heroin (1.619 kg), poppy husk (30.8 kg), smack (4 gm), narcotic powder (326 gm), narcotic pills (40,030), narcotic capsules (3,308), 48 bottles of cough syrups and 33 injections.

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).
