Chandigarh, April 1

Excise and Taxation Commissioner Vinay Pratap Singh has ordered cancellation of the licence of M/s Rock & Storm Bottlers Pvt Ltd.

On the basis of inputs about discrepancies in stocks of blending VATs and finished stock, a surprise inspection was conducted by excise staff under supervision of SDM (East) Nitish Singla. The team found discrepancies in stocks of blending VATs and finished goods. A notice under the Excise Act and Rules was issued to the licensee, who submitted a reply.

Considering the gravity of the issue, the Excise and Taxation Commissioner issued orders to cancel its licence and close the plant.

The department has been acting tough against excise violators to ensure that the upcoming Lok Sabha elections are conducted in free and fair manner in the UT and the government revenue is secured.

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).
