Amritsar, November 16

The Amritsar Customs Commissionerate has seized 410-gm gold from a passenger who arrived from Dubai at Sri Guru Ram Das Jee International Airport today.

The passenger was carrying gold in the form of paste, which was concealed between the layers of his vest and a carboard box. Rahul Nangare, Commissioner of Customs (P), Amritsar, said a passenger who arrived by a Spicejet flight from Dubai was intercepted after crossing through the green channel.

“Our officials questioned him if he was carrying any precious metal or contraband, but he replied in negative. Yet, our officials did his personal search. During examination of his baggage, officials found that he had concealed gold in the paste form,” he said. The market value of the seized gold stood at Rs 21.69 lakh.

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).
