A drug peddler, Shubham Patial, was convicted and sentenced to six months imprisonment along with a fine of Rs 18,250 by Additional Session Judge Sachin Raghu. Patial was arrested on October 20, 2021, with 6.55 gram of heroin and was also driving without a number plate or helmet. He was charged under the NDPS Act and Motor Vehicle Act. The court imposed a fine of Rs 10,000 under the NDPS Act, Rs 750 under the MV Act, and Rs 7,500 under Section 181 of the MV Act.

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).
