Patiala, September 26

The Nabha police today arrested two persons, including an erstwhile panchayat secretary, for allegedly smuggling 3.5-kg opium.

The cops have registered a case under the NDPS Act against the duo — Deepak and Navpreet Singh — at the Sadar Nabha police station in this regard. The police have recovered the drug from the possession of the two suspects. The duo would sneak in narcotics from Rajasthan here and supply them in various parts of the state, said a police official.

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).
