Kullu, August 25

The Anti-Narcotics Task Force (ANTF) has destroyed about five lakh cannabis plants that were illegally grown over 10 bighas of forest land in the Khanorni forest under the Shillihar patwar circle in the Bhuntar subdivision. Kullu ANTF DSP Hemraj Verma said the team found that some unknown persons had illegally cultivated cannabis in a large forest area.

“Two cases have been registered against under the NDPS Act and further investigations are under way,” he added. The DSP said they had received information regarding illegal cultivation of cannabis by some people at some other places in the forest area. The cannabis plantation there will be destroyed soon and action will be taken against the persons who are resorting to illegal cultivation.

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).
