The Kapurthala police conducted a special drive against drug peddlers in the wee hours of Saturday at Bootan village, which is infamous for smuggling of narcotics.

Kapurthala SSP Rajbachan Singh Sandhu said more than 100 cops searched various suspicious places, during which seven unauthorised mobile phones, 100 kg of illegal liquor and five motorcycles were recovered.

He said an FIR had been lodged against Sukhdev Singh, a resident of Bootan village, Kapurthala, under the Excise Act at the Kotwali police station. He said such campaigns would continue in the entire district.

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).
