Two persons have been arrested with around 40 gram of ‘chitta’ (heroin) from the Rampur subdivision in Shimla district, the police said here today. The accused have been identified as Hitesh Thakur (30), a resident of Dhar village in Rampur, and Kailash (40), a resident of Koti village in Rampur.

According to reports, the police received a tip-off that certain individuals, carrying ‘chitta’, were on their way to Rampur from Shimla in a bus. Taking a prompt action, a police team from Rampur intercepted the bus at Patbangla in Rampur. During the checking, the police found the contraband from their possession after which both of them were arrested.

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).
