Fazilka, November 29

The police arrested two drug peddlers today and recovered over 2 kg of heroin from their possession.

Fazilka SSP Bhupinder Singh Sidhu said preliminary investigation revealed that the contraband was recently dropped by a Pakistani drone near the International Border. However, the drone has neither been spotted by the BSF nor by residents of nearby villages.

The SSP said the police had intercepted a motorcycle near a seepage drain in the area between Hasta Kalan and Noorshah villages. On search, police personnel seized 2.105 kg heroin from Raj Singh, alias Raju, of Hazara Singh Wala village and Jagtar Singh of Gatti Mattar village in Ferozepur. Their bike has also been confiscated.

Sidhu said both the peddlers had come to take a consignment from a border village.

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).
