Chandigarh, March 17

After getting poor response, the UT Excise and Taxation Department has invited fresh bids for the remaining 52 liquor vends.

The department had failed to auction nearly 55 per cent of its liquor vends in an auction held on March 15.

The department had managed to auction only 43 vends out of 95 during the auction. It received a total of 62 bids against 43 liquor vends having a reserve price of Rs 202.35 crore. The department collected a total revenue of Rs 221.59 crore.

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).
