A local court has convicted a drug peddler and sentenced him to three-and-a-half years of imprisonment and imposed a fine of

Rs 30,000 on him.

The accused, who has been identified as Veer Inder Kumar, was arrested by the Mandi Gobindgarh Police on August 20, 2019, near the Nasrali Railway Bridge and 200 intoxicant pills were recovered from his possession.

After hearing both the parties, the court conivcted him in the case.

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).
