Pathankot, August 2

The Pathankot police arrested two alleged drug peddlers and seized 153 kg of poppy husk from them. The accused have been identified as Sahil Bhatia and Taranjeet Singh, both residents of Nawanshahr district.

SSP Harkamal Preet Singh said the drug was recovered from a mini-truck. “When my officers checked the vehicle, they found 153 kg of poppy husk packed in plastic bags in it. We have registered a case under the NDPS Act at the Nangal Bhoor police station,” the SSP said.

“Preet Sekhon and Sonu Roadmajra, two known gangsters, were providing logistical support to the smugglers. Their linkages are being checked,” Harkamal Preet Singh added.

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).
