The anti-narcotics cell here yesterday arrested a resident of the Gandhi Chowk area in Kalka, Amit, for allegedly possessing illegal drugs.

A police spokesperson said on getting a tip-off, an NDPS team spotted a suspicious-looking person near Railway Colony in Kalka with a bag in his hand. On checking the man, 20 strips of diphenoxylate hydrochloride and atropine sulphate tablets were seized from him. The total haul was of 1,200 tablets about which the accused could not give any satisfactory reply. He was also asked about the licence and permit of the drugs, but he had no answer for these also.

A case was registered at the Kalka police station. He was produced before court, which remanded him in police custody for two days.

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).
