The police arrested a Nigerian youth with 540gm cocaine from Golden Estate, Sector 115. Cops said suspect, Eczoa, was held with 540 gm of narcotic substance, Rs 10,000 in drug money, eight large and 10 small envelopes, a digital fork, a steel spoon, a tape roll and rubbers of different colours were recovered on search of his bag.

During the police interrogation, the accused told cops that he brought the cocaine from New Delhi. The suspect has reportedly overstayed in India. A case has been registered.

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).
