Acting on a tip-off, the police intercepted a truck traveling from Maharashtra on the Chandigarh-Shimla highway. Upon searching the vehicle, 6 kg poppy husk was found in a plastic bag.

A case has been filed under Section 15 of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act at the Pinjore police station.

The accused has been taken into police custody for five days and further investigation is underway.

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).
