Jalandhar, February 6

The Jalandhar rural police seized 7,500 ml of illicit liquor and 50 kg of lahan was seized during a raid at Ismailpur village in Lohian on February 5.

The Jalandhar police revealed that during patrol on Sunday, a police party received a tip-off that Gurnam Singh, a resident of Ismailpur village, was selling liquor illegally.

A case was registered under Sections 61, 1 and 14 of the Excise Act against Gurnam Singh at the Lohian police station. A raid was conducted at Ismailpur village against Gurmam Singh after which the police recovered 7,500 ml of illicit liquor, 50-kg lahan and things such as pipes and utensils used in running a kiln for the manufacture of illegal liquor.

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).
