He said they seized 2.71 kg heroin, four mobiles, two pistols, two magazines, four live rounds from them and impounded their car. “Later the police recovered, another 19.54 kg more heroin and Rs 2.5 lakh drug money recovered from the shop of the fourth accused Partap Singh of Kilche village,” said the DIG.

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).
