Tarn Taran, July 16

The Excise Department and the district police conducted a joint search operation in the border area of Mari Samra village near Bhikhiwind on Saturday. Two working stills and huge quantity of lahan and illicit liquor were seized.

The operation was launched under the supervision of Excise Inspector Jatinder Singh. The Excise Inspector said illegal activities were being carried out from a farmhouse of Shamsher Singh from where the joint team recovered 27 drums of 4,500 kg of lahan and 115.5 litre of illicit liquor.

The team arrested Jugraj Singh of Mehmudpur from the spot who was working as an operator while Dilbag Singh Baga absconded from the spot.

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).
