The state police on Wednesday demolished at least two “illegally” constructed properties of two alleged drug peddlers in Jalandhar and Mandi Gobindgarh.

In Jalandhar, the “illegal” shop was located in Dhankiya Mohalla and was allegedly built on government land using drug money by accused Dharminder.

According to Police Commissioner Dhanpreet Kaur, the accused was a habitual offender with six drug cases registered against him.

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).
