Chandigarh, March 24

Eight weapons and 12 magazines were seized from four arrested persons, in a major blow to the narcotics network, taking the number of total seized weapons to 25.

A courier company operator was arrested and 2 kg of opium was seized, taking the total recovery of opium to 29 kg.

In a post on X, the Jalandhar Commissionerate Police led by Commissioner of Police Swapan Sharma claimed to have busted an organised network of international drug smuggling syndicate and inter-state gun-running racket.

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).
