Chandigarh, February 3

Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann on Friday asked Deputy Commissioners Commissioners of Police and SSPs to further accelerate the three-pronged strategy of “Enforcement, de-addiction and prevention” for making Punjab a drugs-free state.

Chairing a review meeting with officials here at his office in Civil Secretariat, the CM said area specific strategy should be tailored for each police station for effective enforcement.

The CM also asked officials to ensure that provisions of preventive detention under the PITNDPS Act, 1988, were implemented efficiently along with tracing the forward and backward linkages in the supply chain, through proper investigation of each recovery of illicit drugs.

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).
