Two alleged drug peddlers, including a resident of Punjab, were arrested along with 1.2 kg charas here, an official of Anti-Narcotics Task Force (ANTF) said on Sunday.

Akshay Dogra of Jammu’s Bohri area and Arun Manhas of Punjab’s Pathankot were moving in a private vehicle when they were intercepted by a team of ANTF, Jammu and Kashmir Police, near Parmandal Morh late Saturday, leading to the recovery of the narcotic substance, he said.

The official said that both the accused were arrested and booked under the NDPS Act for further investigation to expose their backward and forward links.

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).
