The Crime Branch team of Ludhiana Police apprehended a drug smuggler, Pradeep Kumar, a native of Bihar and now a resident of New Moti Nagar here, with 1,05 kg of heroin. During interrogation, he revealed that he had obtained the heroin from Raju Kumar, a resident of Sherpur here.

According to the police, Pradeep was arrested during a naka near the GLADA ground in Moti Nagar. A case has been registered against him under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act and he has been remanded to two-day police custody.

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).
