Chandigarh, January 15

During an inspection of clubs and restaurants late at night, SDM (East) Ruchi Singh Bedi ordered to seal a nightclub, “Finch”, in Sector 26 after finding hookahs being served there.

She also inspected Boulevard, Brew Estate, Chandiland, Grapho and Bargain Booze. Nothing objectionable was found at these clubs and restaurants.

The UT Administration had recently decided to cancel the licence of hotels and restaurants, if found violating the ban on serving hookahs.

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

An official said over 15 owners or managers of hotels and restaurants had already been booked and fined for violating the ban order issued on October 13. — TNS

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).
