Moga, July 5

Acting on a news report, “Moga woman chains son to keep him off drugs”, published in these columns on Monday, the police have booked nine persons for luring the youth to drugs.

A senior police official said Gurmail Singh, father of the addict, told the police that some youths of Buttar Kalan , identified as Nimma, Hari, Goga, Neetu, Rama, Gauri, Jassi, Sandeep and Ginder Singh, were giving intoxicating substance to his son Jagdev Singh for the past three months.

The police registered a case under Sections 328 and 120-B of the IPC against the youths. However, no arrests have been made. Due to the violent behaviour of Jagdev, his mother Darjo Rani had tied him with an iron chain at Buttar Kalan village in Nihalsinghwala subdivision in the district to keep him off drugs.

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).
