The district police arrested two individuals and seized 240 intoxicating tablets in two separate operations. In the first case, Ibrahim, a resident of Rohati Khas village, Patiala, was apprehended near Goindwal bridge after 60 tablets were found in his Maruti Zen car.

In a separate incident, ASI Sukhchain Singh and his team arrested Kashmir Singh alias Sira from Subhanpur, recovering 180 tablets. Both accused were booked under Sections 22, 61, and 85 of the NDPS Act. Police have taken them into custody, and further investigation is ongoing.

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).
