Abohar, February 24

Two drug peddlers were held in the wee hours today when the police stopped a car on the NH 62. One of them, Raj Singh Raju, had spent seven years in jail in a case registered under the NDPS Act in 2014 and resumed drug trafficking after his release, investigation indicated.

The police said that 75,500 intoxicating tablets that Raj Singh Raju of Patrewala village and his accomplices Amandeep Singh of Dharangwala village had reportedly arranged after paying Rs 1.25 lakh from a supplier in the Bap area, near Jodhpur, had been seized.

Both were arrested under the NDPS Act. Their car bearing Haryana registration was also impounded by the police.

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).
