Chandigarh, December 17

Two persons have been nabbed by the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) with opium and charas. They had hidden the narcotics in a cavity created in their Swift car.

NCB officials said they had secret information regarding smuggling on December 16, following which surveillance was put on the Saha-Ambala road and two miscreants riding a Swift car was stopped.

During checking, NCB sleuths recovered 4.8 kg of opium and 500 gm of charas, which were hidden in a special cavity made in the door of the car. The suspects are residents of Ratangarh Kakrali in Kurukshetra.

A preliminary inquiry revealed that the contraband was brought from Uttarakhand and being taken to Haryana.

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).
