The BSF today apprehended an Indian woman near the India-Bangladesh border in the Jalpaiguri sector with a huge quantity of liquor. The suspect was allegedly trying to smuggle the liquor through the border.

Acting on a tip-off, troops of the Border Post Arjun of the 06 Battalion BSF under the Jalpaiguri Sector of North Bengal Frontier apprehended an Indian woman, a resident of Coochbehar, carrying a huge quantity of liquor.

During search, the BSF personnel recovered four bags containing 191 bottles of country-made liquor, 18 bottles of beer and cash from her possession. The woman was later handed over to the Excise Department, Kuchlibari.

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).
