Chandigarh, January 13

In order to curb the illegal sale of imported foreign liquor, Indian made foreign liquor and country liquor (IFL, IMFL and CL) at the liquor vends and to prevent evasion of excise levies, enforcement teams of the Excise and Taxation Department conducted a series of random inspections of the liquor vends located in Sectors 9, 20, 26, 27, 40 and Industrial Area, Phase I, during the past few days as part of the ongoing enforcement drive.

During these inspections, a total of 2,159 bottles of various brands of IFL, MFL & CL were found without valid pass/permits and without holograms which were confiscated by the teams. Cases for breach of Excise Law have been initiated against the defaulter licensees.

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).
