The police, along with the Army, arrested three drug peddlers and seized 3.3-kg narcotic powder from their possession in Poonch district on Sunday. A police official informed that a search operation was launched after disclosure by three arrested persons regarding narcotic powder in the forest area of Degwar village in Poonch along the LoC. Security forces cordoned off the area and started searching during which the contraband was seized.

The accused have been identified as Mohammad Jhangir, Mohammad Aslam and Mohammad Bashir. A case has been registered.

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).
