Tarn Taran, November 24

A joint team of the Excise Department of Tarn Taran, Amritsar, Jalandhar and Kapurthala, in its day-long search operation in the Mand area, seized 450-lt illicit liquor and 82,000-lt lahan here on Thursday.

Tarn Taran and Kapurthala Excise Officer Navjot Bharti said the team conducted search operations in Gagrewal, Bhalojla, Kishan Singh Wala, etc., villages.

Lahan was kept in plastic canes and was destroyed on the spot. Excise Inspector Jatinder Singh said a case under Sections 61, 1 and 14 of the Excise Act had been registered by the Verowal police in this regard and further investigation had been initiated to locate the accused behind the illegal trade.

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).
