Ropar, September 26

The district police have arrested two persons, including son of a Congress municipal councillor, under the NDPS Act here today.

The police have seized 100-gram ‘chitta’ from the possession of both suspects — 27-year-old Daksh Kakkar and 35-year-old Gianeshwar Bhandari.

Daksh, son of vice-president of Ropar municipal council Punam Kakkar, was coming on an Activa scooter with Gianeshwar.

They were asked to stop by the police on the Katli-Khuwaspur road. During checking of their vehicle, ‘chitta’ was seized from their possession.

Both the suspects were presented in the court from where they were sent to police custody for two days.

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).
