Sopore Police destroyed drugs worth over Rs 1 crore in Pulwama district on Friday, officials said. The move follows an order issued by the Narcotics Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Court in Baramulla to destroy the narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances through incineration at an earmarked/ approved location in Lassipora area, a police officer said.

The consignment of narcotic/psychotropic drugs was seized in 21 different NDPS cases registered at various police stations in the Sopore area of Baramulla district, he added.

A total of 123.728 kg of poppy straw/powder, 2,811 bottles of codeine phosphate and 28,316 capsules of spasmoproxyvon were destroyed after following all legal requirements, the officer 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).
