Jalandhar, June 11

A total of 150 kg of lahan was recovered from three persons who were arrested by the Jalandhar rural police on Friday. The accused have been identified as Manpreet Singh alias Peeta; Amarjit Singh, alias Abbu, both residents of Muesewal village in Nakodar and Sukhjinder Singh Sukha, resident of Ladhar village, in Nakodar.

The accused were arrested on a tip-off received by the police’s patrol party after which they raided the spot where they were preparing lahan. A case under Sections 61, 1 and 14 of the Excise Act has been registered against the trio at the Nakodar police station. The police have recovered the supplies with which they were preparing the cheap liqour along with 150 kg of lahan.

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).
