Tarn Taran, February 27

The district police intensified its crackdown by filing cases against 71 smugglers under different sections of the NDPS and Arms Acts on Friday.

SSP Dhruman H Nimbale said nine of these 71 smugglers had been arrested with 755-gm heroin. A car and a motorcycle had been recovered from them.

He said the smugglers had been identified as Baljinder Singh of Wan Taran Singh, Harjinder Singh Sugga, Chamkaur Singh of Mehindipur, Shamsher Singh of Khemkaran, Satnam Singh Chackwalia, Manpreet Singh of Sursingh, Sarabjit Singh of Dilawalpur, Satnam Singh of Goindwal Sahib and Jaipal Singh of Fatehbad.

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).
