The Gurugram police have arrested a woman for illegally keeping and selling banned e-cigarettes and foreign cigarettes. A total of 26 boxes of banned e-cigarettes were seized.

The accused was identified as Neetu Chhikara, a resident of Civil Lines in Gurugram. According to the police, a team of the Sector 29 police station on Sunday arrested her for keeping and selling the banned e-cigarettes and foreign cigarettes at a kiosk near Machan Ahata.

“We have seized nine boxes of illegal e-cigarettes and 17 boxes of illegal foreign cigarettes from the possession of the accused. A case was registered against her under relevant sections of the Cigarette and Tobacco Products Act,” said a police spokesperson.

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).
