Fatehabad, January 2

The Fatehabad police seized 814-kg poppy seeds (doda post) from near Amani village in Tohana subdivision of the district last night.

During night patrolling, a police team reportedly noticed a Tata Ace vehicle coming from Amani village side. On seeing the police, the driver of the vehicle panicked and abandoned it. He managed to escape taking advantage of fog and darkness. During the search, the police found 40 plastic bags containing 814 kg doda post.

Superintendent of Police Astha Modi said the police had registered a case under the NDPS Act against the unidentified accused at the Sadar Tohana police station and started a hunt for him.

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).
