Chandigarh, May 24

A local court has sentenced a 28-year-old man to undergo 10 years of rigorous imprisonment (RI) in a drugs case. The court also imposed a fine of Rs 1 lakh on the convict, Amit Anand.

The police had arrested Amit on November 22, 2018, with 12 injections of pheniramine maleate and another 12 of buprenorphine. He was charged under Section 22 of the NDPS Act to which he pleaded not guilty and claimed trial. After hearing of the arguments, the court convicted him of the charge.

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).
