Kaithal, November 17

The local police have attached properties worth Rs 32.72 lakh of drug peddler Singara Singh of Cheeka.

This is the second such case. Earlier, it had attached properties worth over Rs 83 lakh belonging to peddler Gurmej Singh of Dabankhera.

Singara was earlier sentenced to 10-year jail under the NDPS Act. A fine of Rs 10 lakh was also imposed on him.

Six cases, four at the Cheeka police station in Kaithal, one each at the Madhuban police station in Karnal and Patiala in Punjab, were registered against him, said Maqsood Ahmed, SP. “After getting permission from the competent authority under the NDPS Act, we have attached the properties, including his house and car,” the SP added.

Now, the peddler would not be able to sell or transfer those properties to anyone, he added.

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).
