Chandigarh, March 7

A local court sentenced a city resident to undergo 10 years of rigorous imprisonment (RI) in a case registered under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act registered five years ago.

The court also imposed a fine on the convict, Bhupinder Kumar, alias Batti.

As per the prosecution, the police had arrested the accused in September 2018 with 30 injections of buprenorphine and 30 of pheniramine maleate. The accused could not produce any permit or licence for the same.

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).
