Following a tip-off, Jawali police in Nurpur police district seized 29 boxes of country liquor from a school bus. These were being illegally transported in the area. The police had set up a naka on the Kuther-Jawali link road late last night. While carrying out checking, the police stopped a school bus bearing HP 54-D-4918 number plate and recovered the boxes.

Nurpur SP Ashok Ratan said that after conducting preliminary investigation, the police had arrested Shamsher Singh and Raman Kumar, residents of Samker village (Jawali), who were allegedly transporting the cartons containing 348 liquor bottles. He said a case under Section 39(1) of the Excise Act had been registered against the accused and the school bus had also been impounded by the police.

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).
