In a significant breakthrough, the Shimla police arrested two inter-state drug peddlers from Uttarakhand with 5.53 kg of charas (cannabis). The accused, Rajmohan (34) and Sohan Dass (57), both residents of Moori Tehsil in Uttarkashi district, were apprehended near Jijendi Kainchi after a police tip-off.

Acting swiftly, a Special Cell team patrolled the area and arrested the duo with the contraband. Shimla’s Superintendent of Police, Sanjeev Kumar Gandhi, confirmed the arrests, stating that a case under Sections 21 and 29 of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act, 1985, had been registered.

This adds to over 100 arrests of inter-state drug traffickers by the Shimla police this year.

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).
