The police on Monday attached a residential house belonging to an alleged drug peddler in the Kupwara district. “In a significant move against drug trafficking, police in Kupwara have attached the residential house of Lateef Ahmad Chouhan, a resident of Surigam Lolab,” a police spokesman said.

He said the action was taken under Section 68(F) of the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act, 1985 (NDPS), he added.

The spokesman said the property was identified during the investigation as illegally acquired through proceeds of drug trafficking.

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).
