Panchkula, March 27

The Sector 26 crime branch of the Panchkula police today claimed to have arrested a drug peddler while possessing 100 grams of ganja.

The suspect has been identified as Ripu, a resident of Tipra village in the Kalka block of Panchkula district.

A police spokesman said a team of the Sector 26 crime branch, led by Inspector Mohinder Singh, was present in Tipra village on Sunday evening. The team saw a man coming with a plastic bag. He started running in the opposite direction after seeing the police. The team caught him after a brief chase. During checking, 100 grams of ganja was recovered from his possession.

A case under the NDPS Act has been registered against the suspect at the Kalka police station. He was today produced before a court, which remanded him to two-day police custody.

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).
