Fazilka, January 3

Days after the recovery of a contraption used to push narcotics into the Indian territory by Pakistan smugglers, the troops of the second battalion of the Border Security Force seized 500 grams heroin, worth Rs 2.5 crore in the international market, in the area of the BOP, Jhuge Fauza Singh.

Sources said the troops observed some suspected footmarks across the barbed wire fencing. During the search, a packet, suspected to be heroin, was recovered.

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).
