Three drug peddlers have been arrested with 9.3 gm of ‘chitta’ (heroin) in the Sanjauli area in Shimla, the police said here today.

The accused have been identified as Trilok Negi, a resident of Chirgaon in Rohru; Anupam, a resident of Rohru, and Suraj Prakash, a resident of Malyana in Shimla.

According to the police, they received a tip-off that the accused have been selling ‘chitta’ from their rented room in the Cemetery area of Sanjauli.

Taking a prompt action, the police raided the room and recovered the contraband from their possession.

Shimla Superintendent of Police (SP) Sanjeev Kumar Gandhi said further investigation was on.

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).
