Mohali, May 4

The Excise Department today nabbed four youths near PTL Chowk for allegedly smuggling about 140 boxes of illicit liquor in four vehicles.

The suspects identified as Lovekaran Singh, Munish Sabharwal, Daman Grewal and Ramandeep Singh are all residents of Ludhiana.

Mohali, Phase 1, SHO Shivdeep Singh Brar said the suspects were held at a blockade near PTL Chowk during a checking by the Excise Department officials.

”The liquor was meant for sale in the UT only. The suspects used to smuggle the liquor to the Ludhiana area and sell it on inflated prices,” said the Excise Department officials.

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).
