Chandigarh, April 10

Additional Sessions Judge Narender has sentenced Balraj Singh of Bair Majra village, Chandigarh, to three-year rigorous imprisonment (RI) after convicting him in a Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) case. The court has also imposed a fine of Rs 10,000 on the convict.

The police arrested the accused on March 10, 2018, in Industrial Area here allegedly with banned 10 injections of buprenorphine (2ml) and pheniramine maleate (10 ml each). The police claimed that the accused failed to produce any valid permit or licence for the injections.

The court framed charges under Section 22 of the NDPS Act against the accused, to which he pleaded not guilty and claimed a trial.

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).
