Amritsar, September 2

The Customs Department has confiscated one-kg gold after checking a flight at Sri Guru Ram Dass Jee International Airport here.

According to information, the flight arrived from Dubai at 3.15 pm. During the routine checking, a gold bar weighing one kg, valued at Rs 51 lakh, was found underneath a seat.

Customs’ Commissioner AS Ranga said the gold bar was covered with a black adhesive tape sticking to the bottom of an unoccupied seat of the plane.

The recovered gold has been seized under the Customs Act. No arrest has been made in this connection so far.

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).
