Hoshiarpur, October 14

The Chabbewal police arrested two persons and recovered 2.52 quintals of poppy husk from them on Wednesday evening, in two separate cases.

The first accused was arrested from his house in Baria Kalan village during a raid conducted on a secret tip off. Two quintals of poppy husk was recovered from his house, which was hidden underground in a room. In another case, 52-kg poppy husk was recovered by a patrolling party of Chabbewal police from Davinder Singh, alias Sonu, of Barian Kalan village, who was sitting in a deserted plot with two plastic sacks. He tried to run away seeing the police party, but could not due to the barbed wire fencing. Separate cases have been registered against the accused under Sections15, 61 and 85 of the NDPS Act. — OC

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).
