A man was arrested for carrying 3 kg of heroin in Amritsar, a top Punjab Police officer said on Monday.

Balvir Singh, a resident of Attari, was held by the Punjab Police's Counter Intelligence, DGP Gaurav Yadav said.

"Efforts are under way to arrest co-accused Harpreet Singh and trace the entire network linked to #Pakistan-based smugglers," he said in a post on X.

A case under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act has been registered at the State Special Operations Cell in Amritsar.

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).
