Amritsar, July 16

The Amritsar rural police confiscated 770 litres of industrial alcohol and arrested two persons in this connection here on Saturday. Those arrested were identified as Harjit Singh of Rampura village and Shindar Singh of Jheete Kalan village. The police also impounded the Bolero Pickup truck (PB-46-W-1247) used by them. A case under the Excise Act was registered against them.

A preliminary probe revealed that they had pilfered the industrial alcohol from a truck in Zirakpur near Chandigarh. The police were trying to identify the truck driver who supplied the same to them. The alcohol was meant to be supplied to a distillery, said Amritsar rural SSP Swarndeep Singh.

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).
