Patiala, July 13

The Rajpura police nabbed two drug paddlers with 6 kg of opium on Thursday.

SP (City) Sarfaraz Alam said at a checkpoint near the T-point on the Jandoli Road, ASI Gurvinder Singh, in charge of KSM police post, Rajpura, and his team signalled a car to stop. The two men travelling in the car identified themselves as Sukhveer Singh and Gurpreet Singh, both residents of Mandoli village, near Kheri Gandean.

The police searched the vehicle and found a backpack containing 6 kg of opium hidden under seats. Both Sukhveer and Gurpreet were arrested under Sections 18/61/85 of the NDPS Act. They were produced in a court, which sent them to a five-day police remand.

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).
