The police today arrested the driver of a pickup from which 360 kg of poppy husk was recovered in Hanumangarh.

SP Arshad Ali said Sub-Inspector Sushil Kumar arrested the suspect, Jagdish Bishnoi of Phalodi district, after poppy husk was recovered from his pickup, which was without a number plate. A case has been registered.

In another case, a team led by Sub-Inspector Mohar Singh arrested Aamir Khan (25), a resident of Khunja Hanumangarh, with 40 gm of heroin. A case under the NDPS Act was registered against him.

The SP said in the past one month, 26 cases had been registered under the NDPS Act in the district and 34 suspects were arrested.

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).
