The Customs Department said today it had destroyed drugs weighing more than 1,000 kg seized from various international drug peddlers.

“The department is determined to eradicate the social evil of drugs. Under this mission, the officers of Delhi Customs Preventive Commissionerate have destroyed 1,000 kg of ephedrine, 28 kg of heroin and 84 gm of cocaine,” said an officer.

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).
