Solan, April 11

The police seized 700 boxes of country liquor, transported illegally in a truck (HP-64-A-3007), at Parwanoo, which was heading for Solan and Shimla from KM Distillery.

DSP Yogesh Rolta said driver Tikka Ram of Barog and co-driver Devinder Kumar of Jubbar village could not produce any permit issued by the Excise officials. According to the driver, distillery manager Manohar Lal had got these loaded in the truck.

A case under the Excise Act has been registered and further probe is under way.

A team of excise officials led by Deputy Commissioner Himanshu Pawar rushed to the distillery to examine the stock. Pawar said a report would be prepared after a thorough examination of the record. — TNS

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).
