Jalandhar, November 7

A drug peddler was arrested with 100 gm of heroin and Rs 1,10,000 in drug money by the Jalandhar rural police here today.

The police said, during a routine patrol near the Bhoot Colony, they spotted a man. On seeing the police, he tried to turn around and head in the opposite direction. But the police managed to nab him. He identified himself as Sunil Kumar, a resident of the Railway Road, Makkhu, in the Ferozepur district.

An amount of Rs 1, 10,000 in drug money and 100 gm of heroin were recovered from him. A case was registered against him under Sections 21 B, 61 and 85 of the NDPS Act at the Maqsudan police station in Jalandhar on November 6.

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).
