A resident of Ludhiana, Punjab, has been arrested with 11.5 grams of chitta (heroin) in Theog sub-division of Shimla district.

The accused has been identified as Buta Singh (31), of New Shimlapuri, in Ludhiana.

Acting on a tip-off, the police team stopped a bus in which the accused was travelling near Theog bypass for checking. During inspection, cops seized chitta from the possession of the accused.

Theog Deputy Superintendent of Police Siddharth Sharma said a case under Section 21 of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Drugs (NDPS) Act 1985 had been registered against the accused.

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).
