The Kandaghat police seized a substantial quantity of cannabis from the car of two Kasauli youths and arrested them last evening.

Solan SP Gaurav Singh said that a police team, while on patrol duty, received a tip-off that two men travelling in a car from Solan towards Shimla were carrying the contraband. The team intercepted the car and arrested Karan (22) and Shahrukh Khan (30), both residents of Bathol village near Dharampur, with 413 gram of cannabis.

An FIR under Sections 20 and 29 of the NDPS Act has been registered at the Kandaghat police station. The car used in the crime was also impounded.

The police are thoroughly examining the past criminal records of the accused and their backward and forward linkages.

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).
