The police have arrested three men and seized 900 gram of heroin at a naka operation near the Beas bridge. The suspects were taken into custody under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act.

According to SSP Gaurav Toora, a police team was conducting checks at the Beas bridge when they spotted a car approaching from the Amritsar side. The vehicle, carrying three persons, was signalled to stop. Upon halting, the occupants were asked to step out, and a search of the car led to the recovery of nearly 900 gram of heroin.

The accused were identified as Dharu, a resident of Himachal Pradesh, Major Singh of Ferozepur and Sameer from Chandigarh. The suspects are being interrogated to determine the source of the narcotics and the intended recipients.

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).
