Sharing details on Sunday, Barnala SSP Mohammad Sarfaraz Alam said Inspector Kuldip Singh (CIA Staff, Barnala), along with other police officials, arrested the accused near the Barnala-Bathinda main road, and seized 75 bags of poppy husk, loaded in a truck and another mini-van. The accused were identified as Nirmal Singh, Beant Singh, Inderjit Singh and Harjinder Singh. However, the truck driver, Jagsir Singh, is yet to be arrested.

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).
