In a significant crackdown on illicit liquor operations, police in Fatehabad’s Tohana subdivision raided a house in Laloda village and arrested a woman caught red-handed brewing country liquor.

Station House Officer (SHO) Sub-Inspector Shadi Ram said the team received a tip-off during a routine crime prevention patrol and swiftly acted on the information.

Sharanjeet Kaur, wife of Gurmeet Singh and a resident of Laloda, was found producing illegal liquor inside her home. Police seized approximately 70 litres of ready-to-sell country liquor and 80 litres of lahan, the raw material used in distillation.

A case has been registered under the relevant sections of the Haryana Excise Act at Sadar Tohana Police Station.

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).
