Ferozepur, April 7

A 25-year-old boy of Lalchian village, Guruharsahai, died due to alleged drug overdose.

The deceased has been identified as Manjit Singh.

Yesterday, he allegedly consumed synthetic drug (chitta) at Jawai Singh Wala village and felt unconscious. Later, his condition deteriorated and he breathed his last at his home.

Dharam Singh, a farm union leader, said the police must tighten the noose around drug peddlers.

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).
