Chandigarh, March 30

To check smuggling of liquor, the UT Excise Department today conducted a joint inspection/search along with the police at four bottling plants in the city. The search was conducted on the directions of Excise Commissioner Vinay Pratap Singh at the bottling plants of M/s Empire Alcobrew Pvt Ltd; Queen Distillers & Bottlers Pvt Ltd; Shivalik Beverages Pvt Ltd; and Zannat Distilleries Pvt Ltd.

The search started at 9 am. The Police Department had obtained search warrants from the court.

To curb the menace of interstate smuggling and for round-the-clock surveillance of the bottling plants in Chandigarh, deployment of security guards has been enhanced. Dedicated joint teams of the Excise and Police Departments have been deployed at bottling plants of each liquor licensee.

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).
