Karnal, August 9

The Karnal police arrested a man with 1.1 kg opium from Nissing today. The accused was identified as Kuldeep, a resident of Bansa village.

Sub Inspector Rishi Pal said the arrest was made during a raid following a tipoff.

The accused said he bought the contraband from Rajasthan for Rs 1.30 lakh to sell it in Karnal district at a higher rate.

Rishi Pal said a case under the NDPS Act had been registered against the accused at the Nissing police station. The accused would be produced in a court on Wednesday, 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).
