Ambala, July 5

The CIA-1 staff of the Ambala police held two men and seized 51,000 intoxicating tablets and 100 syrup bottles from them on Saturday.

The police have recovered 100 bottles of chlorpheniramine maleate and codeine phosphate syrup, and 51,000 Lomotil tablets (850 strips containing 60 tablets each).

The suspects have been identified as Kulbir Singh and Vijay Pal Singh, both residents of Punjab. They were sent to a two-day police remand. On a tip-off, they were arrested from a spot near a Haryana Roadways workshop. They failed to produce any licence or permit regarding the tablets and syrup bottles.

A case has been registered under Section 21 (c) of the NDPS Act. — TNS

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).
