The district police have seized a consignment of 40 kg of ‘ganja patti’ (cannabis) worth Rs 4 lakh. It has arrested one person on the charge of drug peddling.

A spokesperson of the Police Department said that the accused identified as Amit Kumar, a resident of Unchagaon village in the district, was nabbed from a spot near BPTP bridge on Friday evening on the basis of inputs received from sources.

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).
