The Border Security Force (BSF) on Wednesday said its troopers had seized a consignment of 17,000 “Yaba” (a mixture of methamphetamine and caffeine) tablets worth Rs 1.7 crore from a car near the India-Bangladesh border in Assam and apprehended the driver of the vehicle.

The BSF said the tablets were packed in 89 packets. The cost of one “Yaba” tablet is estimated to be Rs 1,000. The seizure was made 16 km from border outpost Harinagar in the state, said the BSF.

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).
