The Excise Department destroyed 950 kg of ‘lahan’ during different raids carried out to rein in illicit distillation and sale of illicit liquor in Kathua range.

The raids were conducted on directions of Excise Commissioner Pankaj Kumar Sharma.

A team of Excise Range, Kathua, comprising Excise Inspectors Razi Ahmad, Arun Kumar, Sub Inspector Jyoti Prakash Sharma, Head Guard Naginder Kumar and Excise Guards Ghari Ram and Jagroop Singh raided Padyari and Mahichak areas of the district to check illicit distillation of liquor.

“In the process, 950 kg of ‘lahan’, which is highly hazardous and injurious to health, was recovered by the raiding team from state land and later destroyed on spot,” an official 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).
