The Mohali Administration revoked the licence of a stamp vendor at the local tehsil complex, using the powers vested under Rule 31 of Punjab Stamp Act Rules 1934, today. Officials said a complaint was received on September 5 regarding vendor Balwinder Singh overcharging for issuing stamp paper. To check the veracity of the complaint, a client was sent to the vendor on September 11 and Balwinder asked for Rs 80 against the value of a Rs 50 stamp paper.

“Stern action has been taken against the vendor, which is a clear indication to others also,” said DC Aashika Jain.

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).
