Mohali, April 22

The Mohali police today claimed to have arrested a former Punjab Police constable from Lalru for possessing 23,100 tablets of a sedative.

The suspect has been identified as Baldev Singh, resident of Behramput Bet in Chamkaur Sahib, Ropar.

Mohali SSP Satinder Singh said a police team led by Lalru SHO Inspector Sukhbir Singh held Baldev Singh at a bus stop.

During interrogation, the suspect revealed that he worked as a vegetable vendor and had acquired the tablets from a medical store in Baroli village on Meerut road in Uttar Pradesh, said the SSP. — TNS

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).
