Dasuya, October 6

The Dasuya police have seized 60 kg of poppy husk from a truck and arrested its driver.

Dasuya SHO Gurdev Singh said that ASI Lakhvir Singh along with a police party stopped a truck at Balggan Chowk. During search, 60 kg of poppy husk was found from it. The truck was coming from Mukerian side and the driver had been identified as Jaspal Kumar, alias Kaki, a resident of Shanti Nagar in Bajwara village under Sadar police station in Hoshiarpur. The police have registered a case under Section 15, 61 and 85 of the NDPS Act.

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).
