Jalandhar, March 24

During a patrol at Chaharke turn in Bhogpur, the Jalandhar police spotted a man on a motorcycle coming from Chaharke Luharan village. On seeing the cops, he panicked and tried to evade them. He also dropped a polybag on the roadside.

The suspect was nabbed by the Adampur police, and his motorcycle was impounded. Upon questioning, he revealed his name as Charanjit Singh, a resident of Arora Mohallain Bhogpur.

The polybag, on being checked, was found to contain 100 intoxicating tablets. Another lot of 100 intoxicating tablets was also recovered from him. A case under Section 22 of the NDPS Act was registered against him at the Bhogpur police station.

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).
