The Delhi Police have arrested two drug traffickers and seized 78 kg of ganja (cannabis) worth about

Rs 39.25 lakh from their possession, officials said on Sunday. According to police, the seized cannabis was meant for supply in various parts of the national capital for New Year celebrations.

“Police received a tip-off that two persons were heading towards Dwarka Sector-23 with a large quantity of cannabis. A trap was laid, which led to the arrest of Mohammad Akmal (30) and Rohit Kumar (32). Upon a search, cannabis weighing 78 kg was found concealed in a hidden compartment of their car,” a senior police officer said.

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).
