Kapurthala, March 29

In a major initiative against the drug problem, Kapurthala police on Tuesday launched a WhatsApp number 7009137200 to curb the drug menace in the district.

Kapurthala Senior Superintendent of Police Harish Dayama shared the number during a press conference. He disclosed that the identity of the informer would be kept secret. He added that the people can provide drug-related information on this WhatsApp number and police would first verify the information and after verifying it police would raid the area and apprehend the drug peddlers.

The Senior Superintendent of Police has deputed SP (Investigation) Jagjit Singh Soraya as its nodal officer and DSP Narcotic cell as its member. The SSP has appealed to the residents to extend full cooperation with the police in the endeavour to curb the drug menace.

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).
