In view of the panchayat elections, District Election Officer-cum-Deputy Commissioner Komal Mittal had issued various restrictive orders. These included dry day on October 15. Despite the declaration of dry day today, the sale of liquor was on at a liquor vend in Adda Chauhal located on the Hoshiarpur-Chintpurni road.

When the contractor was asked about opening the vend, he said he would close the vend immediately.

The Excise Department remained ignorant despite the violation of the orders by the liquor contractor. Deputy Commissioner Komal Mittal said action will be taken against the owner of liquor store under the Excise Act. She said the licence can also be cancelled.

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).
