Chandigarh, December 24

The Excise & Taxation Department conducted surprise inspections at two vends and one warehouse of imported liquor (L1F) on December 22 and 23.

Two teams were headed by Nirpjit Kaur and Randhir Singh, both ETOs. A total of 209 bottles and 71 cases of different brands were found without valid permits/passes. These were confiscated by the teams and further action would be taken against these licencees as per the provisions of the Excise Act.

Collector (Excise) Rupesh Aggarwal said the Excise Department would continue to check unauthorised activities, if any, by it’s licencees in future also.

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).
