Two kg heroin packed in a bag was found in a field near the SS Jain border post area in Sriganganagar. The Border Security Force (BSF) has handed over the investigation to the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB).

According to information, some farmers, who were working in a cotton field near the Indo-Pakistan border, saw a bag lying there. On being informed, BSF officials reached the spot. The bag carried one packet of one kg heroin and two packets of half kg heroin each. It is suspected the bag had been dropped through a drone used by Pakistani smugglers. Exactly a month ago, on September 17, a young man named Gagandeep was caught by the police while carrying two kg of heroin from a field in the same area.

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).
