A China-made drone and 550 gm heroin were seized in the GG base area near the International Border in Fazilka sector on Saturday.

According to sources, the BSF and the police launched a search operation following a tipoff and seized a drone and contraband lying in a field. The Fazilka (Sadar) police have registered a case against unidentified persons on the basis of a statement by BSF Inspector Majoj Kumar.

SHO Hardev Singh Bedi said the drone was probably used to drop drugs across the border from Pakistan. It, however, crashed due to some technical snag. The case would be cracked soon, he added.

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).
