A team of the city police led by ASI Sukhdev Singh arrested a man with 15,000 ml (20 bottles) of illicit liquor from the Bugga village road on Saturday night. The ASI said a police team had received a tip-off about a man carrying illicit liquor. Accordingly a naka was laid at an appropriate spot to nab the suspect.

When the suspect, who was identified as Deba Singh, a resident of Nanaksar locality, approached the naka point, he was arrested by the police and 15,000 ml (20 bottles) of illicit liquor were recovered from him. The ASI said a case under Sections 61,1 and 14 of the Excise Act was registered against the suspect in this connection.

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).
