Chandigarh, November 28

The Border Security Force (BSF) seized a drone along with a packet containing about 2 kg narcotics near the international border in the Ferozepur sector on Tuesday.

Based on a specific information, a search operation was carried out in the morning of November 28 on the outskirts of Rana Panj Grain village, a BSF officer said.

A China-made DJI Matrice 300 RTK quadcopter with a packet of heroin wrapped in yellow adhesive tape attached to it was found in the fields adjacent to the village, he added. In the evening, a joint search operation with the police was launched on the outskirts of Machhral village in the Gurdaspur sector, during which about 500 grams of heroin was found in a packet wrapped in white adhesive tape and a metal ring attached to it.

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).
