The police arrested two Tarn Taran natives and recovered 14.37 kg of opium from them near Lalru today. The suspects, identified as Ranjodh Singh (27) and Jasveer Singh (35), have been booked under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act (NDPS) at the Lalru police station.

The police said a luxury car and Rs 5,000 drug money had also been recovered from the two suspects. Mohali SSP Harmandeep Singh Hans said both youngsters were arrested during checking by the Lalru police. They were coming from Bareilly in Uttar Pradesh and going to Tarn Taran in Punjab.

The police said the youths were already booked in NDPS Act cases in police stations of the Amritsar rural area.

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).
