The police have seized 240 kg poppy husk from the possession of four persons. A pick-up van and a motorcycle used in smuggling drugs have also been impounded.

The accused have been identified as Imta Ram Jat, a resident of Bandhanau village in Sardarshahar, Om Prakash Jat, a resident of Gidichiya village, Inder Sain of Gorkhana village in Hanumangarh and Ravindra Jat of Dolewala Bass in Nohar.

Superintendent of Police Vikas Sangwan said a police team led by Sub-Inspector Sushil Kumar arrested four occupants of the pick-up van at Pallu. A total of 240 kg of poppy husk has been seized from them.

Sangwan said they would interrogate the accused to find their forward and backward links.

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).
