The police on Thursday arrested 119 drug smugglers and seized 1.7 kg heroin, 14.6 kg opium and Rs 57,480 cash from their possession under the ongoing war against drugs.

With this, the total number of drug smugglers arrested has reached 17,137 in the past 103 days. Over 200 teams, comprising about 1,300 cops under the supervision of 89 gazetted officers, conducted raids at 465 locations, leading to the registration of 93 FIRs.

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).
