The police here have arrested two persons — identified as Shafi Mohammad of Purkhali village (Rupnagar), and Darshan Singh of Sealba village (Mohali) — and seized 16,800 narcotic pills from their possession.

On November 11, while a Majri police station team was patrolling the area from Manakpur Sharif village to the Sealba-Majri road, two persons were apprehended with 280 Lomotil packages, each containing 60 tablets.

SP Dharamvir Singh said a case under the NDPS Act had been registered against the accused at the Majri police station. These accused were produced before a court on Wednesday and remanded in one-day police custody.

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).
