As part of the ongoing anti-drug campaign “Yudh Nashian Virudh”, the Municipal Corporation Jalandhar, in coordination with the Jalandhar Commissionerate Police, on Thursday demolished an illegal construction linked to a drug trafficker in the Indira Colony area.

Commissioner of Police Dhanpreet Kaur informed that the demolished structure belonged to Mukesh Ram alias Dhoni, a resident of Street No 7, Indira Colony, Jalandhar. The accused is a well-known drug trafficker with nine FIRs registered against him under the NDPS Act and the Excise Act at Police Stations Division No 1 and Division No 2 in Jalandhar.

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).
