A joint team of the Narcotics Control Bureau and Delhi Police have seized a large cache of narcotics worth Rs 27.4 crore and arrested five persons, Union Home Minister Amit Shah announced on Monday.

Shah also said the government's relentless hunt against drugs trade will continue.

“In line with the Modi government’s zero tolerance against drugs, a major narco-network was busted in Delhi-NCR. The NCB and Delhi Police grabbed the gang by its throat and recovered methamphetamine, MDMA and cocaine worth Rs 27.4 crore and arrested five people,” Shah wrote on X.

The Home Minister also applauded the NCB and Delhi Police for the major breakthrough.

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).
