The Sidhwan Bet police on Tuesday arrested a drug peddler and seized 150 gm of heroin from his possession. The suspect was identified as Manpreet Singh, alias Mannu, a resident of Chak Bahmania in Shahkot district, Jalandhar.

ASI Sukhdev Singh said he had received a tip-off that Manpreet was into drug smuggling and he was on the way to deliver heroin to his clients, from Mehatpur to Sidhwan Bet.

Following which, a police team laid a naka and stopped the motorcycle-borne man for checking. During frisking, 150 gm of heroin and Rs 150 in cash were recovered. The motorcycle used in the crime was also seized by the police. A case under the NDPS Act was registered.

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).
