Talwara police arrested a man with smuggled liquor and registered a case against him. Acting on a tip-off, police stopped a man for checking on the Shah Canal-Changdwan road.

A sack was placed on his scooter. When the sack was opened and checked, 27 bottles of liquor manufactured in HP were recovered. The accused identified himself as Ranjeet Singh alias Raju, resident of village Dharam Singh Diyan Chhanna, Police Station Mahitpur, District Jalandhar, currently residing in Sandpur. A case has been registered against Raju under the Excise Act and further action has been initiated.

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).
