A local court has sentenced Rajender Singh, a resident of Mauli Jagran, to undergo 10-year rigorous imprisonment in an NDPS Act case registered five years ago. The court has also imposed a fine of Rs 1 lakh on the convict.

The police had registered a case on March 16, 2020, after the accused was arrested 10 injections of Pheniramine Maleate and 11 injections of Buprenorphine without any permit or licence.

Charges under Section 22 of the NDPS Act were framed against the accused. While rejecting his plea for leniency, the court sentenced the accused to 10 years of rigorous imprisonment.

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).
