Muktsar Deputy Commissioner Rajesh Tripathi today claimed to have caught two drug peddlers and seized some banned pills, capsules and poppy husk from their possession at a rickshaw stand outside the District Red Cross Park along the Kotkapura road here.

Talking to The Tribune, Rajesh Tripathi said, “I had gone to inspect the rickshaw stand, where the district administration planned to organise a ‘langar’ (community kitchen) tomorrow during the Maghi Mela. Two person were lying there in blankets. When they were frisked, nearly a hundred banned pills, capsules and poppy husk were seized from their possession. I have asked the SSP to take legal action against them. They were later handed over to the police.”

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).
