Amritsar, July 17

The Amritsar Customs Department has seized 10.22 kg gold, worth around Rs 5 crore, from six passengers who landed at Sri Guru Ram Dass Ji International Airport here from Dubai.

Customs Commissioner Dipak Kumar Gupta said five passengers were intercepted when they arrived here on July 16, while one person arrived here in flight no G 9275 of Air Arabia under the Vande Bharat Scheme on July 17.

“They had concealed gold in home appliances, including iron, juicer-mixer grinder and drill machine, by replacing their inner parts,” he said.

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).
