New Delhi, January 11

The Aam Aadmi Party government has asked Delhi Police to enforce ban on sale, manufacturing and storage of all forms of chewing tobacco imposed by it in the national Capital in April last year.

Deputy Commissioner (Food Safety) Jai Parkash in a letter to Deputy Commissioner of the Police cited the September 29, 2016 order of the Supreme Court for “total compliance” of the ban imposed on manufacturing and sale of gutka and pan masala with tobacco and/or nicotine.

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).
