Jalandhar, July 23

The Mehatpur police today seized 12 bottles of liqour and 100 kg Lahan and arrested one person with these.

The police said a police party during a naka at Mehatpur arrested a man identified as Bagga Singh, resident of Mohalla Sadi Kha Mehatpur and recovered 12 bottles of illegal liquor (9,000 ml) from him along with 100-kg lahan.

An FIR under sections 61, 1 and 14 of the Excise Act has been registered against the accused at the Mehatpur police station on July 22. The police said a detailed investigation was being done in the case.

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).
