Kurukshetra, August 26

The CIA-1 unit of the Kurukshetra police arrested a man and seized 4.30 kg poppy husk from his possession on Sunday. The accused was identified as Jaspal.

A police spokesman said they had received information that poppy husk had been kept in huge quantities in the basement of a dhaba, and that it was being sold to drug addicts and truck drivers at higher prices. He said on receiving the information, a raid was carried out and nearly 4.30 kg poppy husk was seized.

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).
