Palampur, August 11

A team of the Palampur police seized a kilogram of charas from Om Parkash at Dadh, near the Chamunda Devi Temple, in the district on Monday evening.

DSP Amit Sharma said a police team, headed by head constable Vinod Kumar, laid a trap on a tip-off. The accused travelling in a car (PB10CC-0033) was signalled to stop, but he tried to speed away. The police seized the car and arrested him. During search, 1.1 kg of charas packed in a polythene bag was recovered. The investigation is in progress, he added.

A case under the NDPSAct has been registered against the accused. — OC

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).
