Chandigarh, January 17

A local court today awarded 12-year imprisonment to a youth for carrying 100 banned injections.

The court of Additional District and Sessions Judge Sanjiv Joshi also imposed a fine of Rs 1 lakh on the convict, identified as Chetan Rana (20), a resident of Mandhar in Saharanpur district.

The case dates back to March 1, 2018, when an FIR was registered at the Maloya police station under Section 22 of the NDPS Act.

According to the FIR, a police team on patrolling duty near the Dadu Majra dumping ground nabbed Rana with 50 injections of pheniramine meleate and 50 injections of buprenorphine.

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).
