Panchkula, June 7

Officials of the crime branch have recovered 3 kg of poppy husk from Malik Singh, a resident of Chauna Chowk, Pinjore, near a bridge on the national highway. A case was registered against Malik at the Pinjore police station under the NDPS Act.

During interrogation, Malik disclosed that he had purchased the contraband from Deepak Kumar, a resident of Vasi Bihari Colony, Madhawala. He said Deepak had stolen poppy husk. The police arrested Deepak today and presented him before a court, which sent him to police remand for two days.

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).
