In a swift operation, the Ambala Police raided an unlicensed drug de-addiction centre in the Saha area, rescuing 23 individuals struggling with addiction.

Following a tip-off, a police team and Health Department officials conducted an inspection at the facility.

The rescued addicts were immediately taken to Civil Hospital Ambala Cantonment for psychiatric evaluation and medical examination before being reunited with their families.

Deputy Civil Surgeon Dr Mukesh stated, "We received information from the SP office about the illegal operation. Although the centre operator had applied for a provisional license, it had not yet been granted, making their operation illegal."

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).
