The Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) has seized a huge quantity of psychotropic substances and arrested four persons during a three-day operation in West Bengal.

Officials said following an input on the retail sale of psychotropic and narcotic drugs to addicts, the NCB busted a drug racket with the arrest of four persons, including a warehouse owner, on Friday.

The Kolkata unit of the NCB said, “We have seized drugs in the form of tablets and injections from the premises of TS Agency owned by Minagur Rahaman.”

The seizure included 90 bottles of Phensewell cough syrup (codeine phosphate), 2,640 capsules of Pyeevon Spas Plus (Tramadol HCL), 300 ampoules of Diazepam injection, 125 ampoules of Diazepam injection and 2,000 ampoules of Buprenorphine injection.

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).
