Moga, February 19

The Border Security Force seized 10 kg heroin from the Indo-Pakistan border in Mamdot area of the Ferozepur district on Friday morning.

BSF jawans spotted movement of suspects along the border near Gatti Hayat village on the intervening night of Thursday and Friday.

When the BSF jawans asked them to stop they fired shots in the air and ran away into the Pakistani territory.

In the morning, a search operation was launched in which 10 packets of heroin were seized.

The BSF said the search operation was still on.

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).
