The police arrested an alleged drug peddler in possession of over 5 kg cannabis.

Sharing details, ACP Crime Arvind Kamboj said during routine patrolling, the Anti-Narcotics Cell received a tip-off about a man from Chandigarh involved in supplying ganja. The suspect was said to be waiting near Saketri Road in Panchkula. Acting swiftly on the information, a police team led by Sub-Inspector Praveen Kumar conducted a raid and apprehended the suspect on the spot.

The accused has been identified as Mohammad Samim, 30, a native of Bhagalpur district in Bihar, currently residing in Chandigarh as a tenant.

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).
