A garment trader was booked by the Beas police on charge of violating the Copyright Act, 1957, when he was caught selling garments after fixing fake logos of top brands at his showroom Fashion Villa in Baba Bakala.

The trader, identified as Harbhajan Singh of Sherobagha village, was later released on bail. Harminder Singh, manager, Media Software Solutions, Ludhiana, said his firm had a tie-up with garment brands, including Zara, Hugo, Boss, Tommy Hilfiger, Calvin Klein, US Polo and Levis, to check showrooms and shops involved in selling garments after fixing fake logos of top brands. He said they received tip-off that Fashion Villa was involved in such malpractice. He said Harbhajan did not have any authorisation of top garment brands to sell their products.

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).
