The police on Saturday claimed to have busted a cross-border arms smuggling module by arresting two persons from Ferozepur district and seizing two 9 mm pistols along with three cartridges.

The accused have been identified as Ravi Singh and his associate Sandeep Kumar. "Preliminary investigation reveals their links with cross-border smugglers, including a Pakistan-based handler involved in trafficking of weapons and narcotics," DGP Punjab Gaurav Yadav stated on X.

The police said the accused used to receive arms consignments sent across the border via drones and distributed those among local contacts.

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).
