A special court in Hamirpur has sentenced Dharmender Singh, a resident of Nathan village in Kullu district, to two years of rigorous imprisonment and imposed a fine of Rs 20,000 under the NDPS Act. The conviction follows his arrest by Barsar police on March 3, 2022, when he was caught with 468 gm of charas. Rahul Chopra, Deputy District Attorney, successfully conducted the trial on behalf of the prosecution. Failure to pay the fine will result in an additional sentence as per the court’s directives.

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).
