A joint team of the Chamba police and the Drugs Control Administration apprehended a youth in possession of habit-forming drugs in Chamba.

The accused, identified as Gourav, was found carrying banned substances during a search prompted by his suspicious behaviour. Authorities recovered 31 tablets of buprenorphine, classified under the NDPS Act, along with 20 capsules of pregabalin.

As the accused failed to produce any documents, bills or a licence for possessing the drugs, the Drugs Control Administration seized the pregabalin capsules, while the police confiscated the buprenorphine tablets and registered a case against him under the Drugs and Cosmetics Act and the NDPS Act.

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).
