The Ropar district police had registered 225 cases against drug peddlers from March 1 to June 30, according to a senior officer.

Senior Superintendent of Police Gulneet Singh Khurana, in a press release issued here recently, said 104 addicts were admitted to de-addiction centres and 115 persons were admitted to Opiod Assisted Treatment (OAT) centres in the district.

Besides, many drug addicts were motivated and voluntarily admitted to drug de-addiction centres, he said.

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).
