The Rajpura Sadar police have arrested a man and have allegedly seized 500 grams of opium from him. They have registered a case under the NDPS Act and are probing the matter. According to the SHO, the accused has been identified as Ravi from Prem Rajpur village in UP. “We were checking vehicles on the GT Road near Basantpura when the accused got off a bus and started to run towards the opposite side. We nabbed him on the spot and the contraband was recovered from his possession,” said the SHO.

The police said they would question the accused to ascertain from where he bought the drugs and where was he going to supply it.

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).
