Suspected drug smugglers who had gone to pick a consignment of heroin from near the India-Pakistan border in Fazilka reportedly fired shots at BSF men. BSF troops retaliated and arrested two of them.

Heroin packets and illegal weapons were seized from them. The matter is currently being investigated.

According to information, BSF personnel had information that two suspicious persons were seen near Tahliwala village. After arresting the duo, the BSF men seized a China-made pistol, one magazine and four live cartridges from them.

After quizzing the suspects, BSF personnel later seized about 550 gm heroin from their possession. Those arrested were identified as Sukhdev of Naubahran tehsil Guruharsahai and Kulwinder Singh of Hazara Ram Singh Wala in Fazilka.

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).
