In a move against drug trafficking, the Jalandhar police have disposed of drugs seized in 68 cases under the provisions of the NDPS Act.

The contraband, confiscated during various anti-narcotics operations, was destroyed under the supervision of the Drug Disposal Committee, led by SSP Harkamal Preet Singh Khakh.

The drugs destroyed included 62.3 kg of poppy husk, 932 gm of heroin, 270 gm of intoxicated powder, 10 gm of ganja, 850 gm of charas along with 290 tablets and 14 injections classified as medicinal drugs. The disposal took place at an authorised facility.

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).
