Jammu and Kashmir Police’s Anti-Narcotics Task Force arrested an alleged drug peddler here on Saturday and recovered nearly 5,000 banned capsules from his possession, an official said.

Vishal Sharma, a resident of old Janipur area, was apprehended along with the contraband near ISBT Narwal, he said.

The official said a case under relevant sections of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act has been registered and further investigation set into motion.

The Anti-Narcotics Task Force (ANTF) appealed to the general public to come forward regarding any information related to drugs so that the menace could be uprooted completely from the society and the young generation saved from falling prey to it, he 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).
