Tightening the noose around drug traffickers, the district police claimed to have unearthed an inter-state racket with the seizure of 202 kg of ganja and the arrest of two persons.

Superintendent of Police (SP) Arpit Jain said the accused had been identified as Praveen and Shamsher of Bhainswal village in Sonepat district. A case under the NDPS Act had been registered against them.

“Acting on a tip-off, the Bahadurgarh CIA-II team led by Inspector Vivek Malik launched a vehicle checking operation on the KMP Expressway near Daboda Khurd village. A car bearing a Delhi registration number was stopped and 11 plastic bags containing ganja were found,” said the SP.

The accused have been taken on an eight-day remand. Their background was also being checked to find out their involvement, if any, in criminal activities in the past.

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).
