Chandigarh, January 30

Boulevard Club of Sector 26 was sealed by SDM (East) Ruchi Singh Bedi for serving hookah last night. On January 12, the UT Administration decided to cancel the licence of hotels and restaurants violating the ban on serving of hookah.

The administration has already imposed a ban on serving of flavoured hookah, including tobacco molasses containing nicotine, for smoke or consumption in hotels, restaurants, bars, taverns and hookah bars.

Despite the sealing of premises and filing of FIRs, violation of the ban on serving of hookah to customers continues in the city.

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).
