Tarn Taran, January 17

Two smugglers who were trying to contact accomplices across the border to take heroin and arms from them have been booked, the Khemkaran police said on Friday.

One of the smugglers was nabbed by the BSF and handed over to the Khemkaran police.

The police said the nabbed smuggler had been identified as Zora Singh of Mehindipur village and his associate was Sonu of Amritsar who was to be arrested.

The accused were sending Whatsapp messages to their Pakistan-based accomplices asking them to send them heroin and arms. They were nabbed from the Mianwala border out post.

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).
