Srinagar, December 30

Continuing its efforts to eradicate the menace of drugs, the police in Budgam have booked 19 drug peddlers under the Public Safety Act (PSA) this year after obtaining formal detention orders from the competent authority.

Four among them were booked under the PSA on Friday, the police said. They have been identified as Jahangeer Ahmad Magloo, Mohmmad Arif Magloo, Mehraj Ahmed Wani and Miasar Ahmed Mir.

They were involved in six NDPS cases registered in various police stations of the district, the police said.

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).
