The Ludhiana Crime Branch arrested two alleged drug smugglers and seized 310 grams of heroin and 20 kilograms of poppy husk from their possession.

The accused were identified as Buta Singh and Jugraj Singh, both residents of Kanian village near Sidhwan Bet.

Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police (Crime) Amandeep Singh Brar said that Inspector Kulwant Singh, incharge of the Crime Branch, had received a tip-off about the accused transporting narcotics to supply to clients.

Acting swiftly, the police set up a naka at a strategic location, intercepted their car, and recovered the contraband during a search.

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).
