Paonta Sahib police seized a consignment of 3,120 intoxicating capsules and arrested two interstate smugglers.

According to information provided by the police, the operation was carried out late last night after they received a reliable tip-off about a large consignment of narcotics being supplied in the Surajpur area of Paonta Sahib. A trap was laid and during the operation, two suspects were apprehended with the pills. They have been identified as 28-year-old Sunny Saini and 39-year-old Ashok, both residents of Uttar Pradesh.

The police have registered a case against the duo under the NDPS Act. Both accused have been taken into custody for further investigation.

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).
