Patiala, January 28

The police have nabbed two persons and recovered 39,000 pills of lomotil drug from them. The suspects have been identified as Satnam Singh, alias Satta (32), of Rasoolpur Jor village and Gulzar Singh, alias Gari (38), of Bhatedi Kalan village.

The Patiala SSP, Vikramjit Duggal, said a police party had laid a naka near Daulatpur village on Wednesday. The police personnel stopped a three-wheeler for checking at the naka, he added. On search, two men travelling in three-wheeler were found carrying 39,000 pills of lomotil drug, he said.

Earlier, Satnam used to work as bus conductor, he added. Two cases were already registered against him at different police stations for different crimes, he said. The police arrested the suspects and registered a case under the NDPS Act.

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).
