The city police have arrested a bootlegger identified as Lovepreet Singh, alias Lovely, a resident of the Ghah Mandi area, and recovered 168 bottles of illegal liquor and impounded a car with fake registration number plate from his possession.

Following his interrogation, the police booked Gurmukh Singh, a resident of Hetampura village in Lopoke. He had around seven cases of Excise Act registered against him.

A police team carried out a raid at the suspect’s place and seized 168 bottles of Officer’s Choice whisky. The police also seized a black colour Hyundai Creta car with a fake registration number plate from there. A case was registered 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).
