The police have arrested two women drug traffickers and recovered 50.42 grams of charas, 15.84 grams of ‘chitta’ (heroin) and Rs 78,000 cash from their residence.

The women identified as Asha Kumari (70) and Suman (40), both residents of Sakot village in Kangra district, were apprehended during a joint raid conducted by the CIA staff and the local police near the Kangra Mandir railway station.

SP Ashok Rattan said that a case had been registered against both women under various sections of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act. An investigation into the case was underway, he added.

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).
