Four alleged drug peddlers including three women were arrested on Thursday along with 40.5 grams of heroin and some sharp-edged weapons here, police said.

Parveen Kumar alias “Pinna”, Rekha Kumari alias “Kajal”, Jyoti Bala alias “Ramta” and Rashmi Langeh – residents of village Chorli, Bishnah — were arrested based on a tip-off, a police officer said.

He said that the accused were part of a network responsible for drug distribution among the local youth.

A case under relevant sections of Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act and Arms Act has been registered at Bishnah police station against the accused and further investigations are underway, the officer said.

He said that the police remains committed to eradicating the drug menace and urges the public to report suspicious activities to the nearest police station or post.

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).
