The Jammu police on Tuesday arrested a drug peddler and recovered 20 kilograms of poppy from him in Jammu city, officials said.

A police team intercepted a person in the Greater Kailash area and found 20 kilograms of poppy concealed in a bag, they added.

The accused was arrested and a case has been registered against him, they said.

Identified as Sunny Gupta of Bari Brahmana, the accused was involved in the illegal trade of selling and purchasing narcotics to gain illegitimate and undue profit, the officials 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).
