590 liquor boxes seized in Sonepat; two arrested

Sonepat, July 7

The Sonepat police have nabbed two men and recovered 590 boxes of illegal liquor, which was reportedly being smuggled from Chandigarh to Uttar Pradesh in two separate vehicles.

SP Jashadeep Singh Randhawa said on a tip-off, the Gohana Sadar police team laid a naka near the Barauta flyover and stopped a vehicle. The driver tried to flee but was nabbed.

As many as 220 liquor boxes containing 10,560 quarters of ‘Hi Speed Whisky’ were found in the vehicle but the driver failed to produce any valid permit.

In another case, the police got a tip-off and laid a naka near Bhainswal Chowk and stopped a canter. The driver tried to flee but was caught. Separate cases have been registered. — 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).
