Rohtak, November 15

Former minister and senior Congress leader Krishan Murti Hooda has demanded a CBI probe into the spurious liquor case in which 20 persons have died in Yamunanagar and Ambala districts.

“The case may be linked with a big racket involving illegal trade of spurious liquor, hence it should be investigated by a higher agency, like the CBI, to expose the real culprits. We cannot rely upon the police as they work under the state government,” claimed Krishan Murti while interacting with the media here today.

He also demanded that the government should take effective steps to curb liquor smuggling and the sale of drugs as youth were falling a prey to drugs due to easy availability.

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).
