The UT Excise Department raided a liquor warehouse in the Industrial Area late last night and seized 2,411 cases of foreign liquor without bar codes or holograms.

Acting on a tip-off, the department’s team found the liquor stored illegally, allegedly for smuggling. The warehouse has been sealed and an investigation is underway.

As part of its campaign against liquor smuggling, the Excise Department has increased surveillance on liquor shops, bottling plants and warehouses, particularly at night. Officials said liquor was being transported from Chandigarh to Punjab, Haryana, Himachal and other states.

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).
