The BSF, in a joint operation with the Special Task Force, arrested a cross-border drug peddler from a house at Dalla Mallian village in Ajnala subdivision here today.

The suspect was identified as Gurjit Singh of Khemkaran in Tarn Taran district.

The BSF seized Rs 5 lakh drug money, along with a Chinese .30 bore pistol, a magazine with three live rounds and a motorcycle from him. “This morning, a raid was conducted at a house in Dalla Mallian village leading to the arrest of a narco-smuggler,” said a BSF spokesman. He was allegedly involved in smuggling using drones in the border areas. He was handed over to cops.

The police said Gurjit had been under surveillance for nearly a month. He was staying at a relative’s house in Dalla Mallian.

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).
