Jammu, February 16

The Anti-Narcotic Task Force (ANTF) on Wednesday arrested two alleged smugglers carrying 29-kg hashish worth crores of rupees in the market, officials here said.

The ANTF had got information about a truck, driven by Arif Ahmed Wani and Amir Hussain Khan, both residents of Bandipora, Kashmir. Upon getting the tip-off, a team intercepted the truck on the highway near Environmental Park in Jammu.

Jammu ANTF SSP Vinay Sharma said further investigation was on and more arrests were expected. —

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).
