The police seized over 1,100 bottles of illicit liquor and arrested two persons in Kangra district on Tuesday.

The police conducted a raid at Jatt Palace in Mukam Raja Ka Talab of Nurpur and seized 96 boxes of country-made liquor. The boxes contained 1,150 bottles of illicit liquor.

On a tip-off, the police raided the residences of Praveen Kumar and Tilak Raj and recovered illicit country-made liquor from their possession, Nurpur SP Ashok Rattan said.

He added that the two men were arrested and a case was registered against them for possessing illicit liquor under Section 39 (1) of the Himachal Pradesh Excise Act at Raihan police station. The investigation into the case was going on to uncover the details about the smuggling operation, he said.

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).
