Two persons have been arrested for the illegal sale of medical termination of pregnancy (MTP) kits.

Dr Man Singh¸ PCPNDT District Nodal Officer, said here today that the arrests were made after raids at two places by a team of the Health Department and the Police Department.

One of the accused, identified as Netarpal, running a medical store in Sarpanch Market, was arrested for having the MTP kits at his store. The second accused, identified as Parimal Sarkar, a quack running a clinic in Mewala Maharajpur village, was nabbed after he offered to sell the kit to the decoy team.

A case has been registered against the accused under Sections 3, 4 and 5 of the MTP Act and Section 420 of the IPC. Singh said a case under the relevant Section of the Drugs and Cosmetics Act had also been registered against one of the accused.

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).
