The police conducted a search in the house of suspected drug peddler Raji Devi at Tamota village in Indora last evening and recovered 9.42 grams of heroin (chitta). The police team also recovered Rs 60,000 earned through drugs from the possession of Raji Devi and her son Namveer, alias Badal.

SP, Nurpur police district, Kulbhushan Verma said that a case under Sections 21 and 29 of the NDPS Act had been registered in Indora police station and the accused mother and son duo had been arrested. He added that an investigation was underway.

The involvement of women of a particular community in the interstate border areas of Nurpur police district has become a matter of concern. A number of such women drug peddlers have been arrested along with contraband during the past two years.

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).
