Fatehgarh Sahib, March 25

The Sirhind police have arrested a smuggler and seized 1-kg opium from his possession. The suspect, identified as Prem Pal of Bareilly in UP, used to supply opium to his clients in the district and other parts of the state.

SP (Investigation) Digvijay Kapil said the police got a tip-off that an opium smuggler was on his way to deliver a consignment in Sirhind town. A police team, led by Sub-Inspector Rajwant Singh, in-charge of the Sirhind police post, laid a naka near Madrasi Colony. The police team intercepted a person coming on foot. During a search, the police seized 1-kg opium from his possession.

A case has been registered against the suspect.

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).
