Two Indian nationals have been arrested in Nepal for possessing narcotic drugs, according to police.

They were arrested late Thursday in separate incidents, according to a Nepal Police news bulletin.

Raj Bihari Kumar, 25, a resident of Motihari, Bihar, was arrested along with 60 kg of hemp from the Pachauriya Municipality of Bara district.

In another incident, the police arrested two individuals including an Indian national on charges of possessing brown sugar.

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).
