Panchkula, March 31

The Sector 26 Crime Branch of the district police arrested a man and recovered over 5 kg of poppy husk from him.

The suspect has been identified as Jasveer Singh, a resident of Paploha village in Kalka.

On March 30, the police had received a tip-off that the suspect was smuggling the contraband into the district in a canter truck from Rajasthan. On the basis of secret inputs, the police set up a naka near the HMT factory in Pinjore and intercepted a canter coming from the Panchkula side.

On searching the vehicle, the police team seized the contraband kept in a tool box.

A case has been registered under Sections 15, 61 and 85 of the NDPS Act at the Pinjore police station.

The suspect was produced in a local court today and sent to eight-day police remand.

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).
