Two persons, including a African native, were arrested with 298.67 gram of cannabis (charas) in Himachal's Bilaspur district, police said on Monday.

Police said the accused have been identified as Sergio Lampayiv Namburate, from Mozambique in East Africa, currently residing in Punjab's Mohali and Rhydum Bisht, a resident of Mohali, Punjab.

The two were arrested on Sunday by a police team on Kiratpur- Manali four lane near Baloh toll plaza when their car was intercepted, a police officer said.

During the checking, the team found the contraband following which they were immediately arrested, the officer added.

Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Madan Dhiman said a case under Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) act has been registered against the accused and further investigation is underway.

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).
