Ferozepur, February 11

A team of sleuths from the police and the BSF, in a joint operation, nabbed a smuggler and seized 1 kg heroin.

SSP Saumya Mishra said a joint naka was laid by the two forces near Changa Rai Hithar (Cheebe Wala) village in the Guruharsahai area. “The police had received information of Sukhchain Singh and Mangal Singh, both residents of Changa Rai Hithar, receiving consignments of heroin from Pakistani smugglers,” she said, adding that a trap was laid to catch them during which Sukhchain Singh was nabbed.

After investigation, Sukhchain gave information regarding two 500 gm consignments of heroin, which the suspects had hidden in a field along the IB. Acting on the information the police recovered the said consignments.

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).
