Mohali, March 12

The police arrested three persons allegedly for drug smuggling and recovered 130 grams of narcotics powder from their possession near Sector 86 yesterday.

The suspects have been identified as Sumit Kumar, a resident of Kandala, and Rohit Divola (25) and Rishabh (19), both residents of Zirakpur.

A case under the NDPS Act was registered against them at the Sohana police station on Thursday. The trio was today produced in a court, which sent them to police remand.

The suspects used to purchase heroin from Delhi and sell it to youths in Zirakpur, Mohali and the adjoining areas at exorbitant prices, said the police.

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).
