Solan, March 18

The State Taxes and Excise (STE) Department registered a revenue hike of 47.61 per cent vis-à-vis last year in the annual allotment of five liquor units in Sirmaur district today.

The 91 liquor vends, categorised in five units, were allotted for Rs 78.31 crore as against the reserve price of Rs 59.99 crore. The revenue generated was 30.54 per cent more than the reserve price.

Of the five vends, four were allotted to Solan-based Rajesh and Company, while Nahan-based Nitin Liquor was allotted one unit.

The allotment was held at Nahan under the chairmanship of Sirmaur DC RK Gautam, Additional Commissioner-cum-Collector (STE) Pankaj Sharma and Deputy Commissioner (STE) Himanshu Pawar.

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).
