Methamphetamine tablets worth Rs 173.73 crore have been seized along the India-Myanmar border in Mizoram's Champhai district, an Assam Rifles statement said on Wednesday.

Acting on a tip-off, Assam Rifles and Mizoram Police jointly made the seizure at a border crossing point in Zokhawthar on February 9, it said.

The joint team spotted suspected individuals carrying the illegal consignment and intercepted them, it said.

The suspects, however, got alert and ran away leaving behind the consignment.

The consignment worth Rs 173.73 has been seized by the police for further investigation and legal proceedings, the statement 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).
