Barnala, December 9

The Crime Investigation Agency (CIA) has confiscated nearly 1.05 lakh habit-forming tablets and arrested two persons. However, two other accused managed to flee. The police have also arrested a customer from Handiaya.

CIA incharge Baljit Singh said on a tip-off about the movement of smugglers in their area, they put up a “naka” on the Handiaya-Dhanaula link road on Sunday.

“We seized a total of 1.05 lakh habit-forming tablets from a car and arrested Sarvan and Deepak. Their two accomplices — Shankar and Raju — fled from the spot. We have also arrested Rinku, who was their customer. We have registered a case and conducing further investigations,” the CIA incharge 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).
