The Anti-Narcotics Cell of the district police arrested a man with charas.

The suspect has been identified as Mahendra Kumar, a resident of Arki Mandi village in Himachal Pradesh and currently putting up in Kalka.

Law enforcement officials recovered a total of 1.26 kg of charas from the suspect.

The police spokesperson said there was a confidential information about Mahendra Sharma, residing as a tenant in Kalka, that he was allegedly selling charas to drug addicts in the vicinity of Kalka. Acting on the tip-off, cops arrested the suspect.

A case was registered against him under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act at the Kalka police station.

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).
