Jalandhar, July 30

After conducting a raid at a bar in the Urban Estate-1 area, the police, late on Wednesday night, arrested 14 persons for consuming hookah in violation of the norms.

The arrested persons include seven customers. While the owner of the hookah bar was not present, its manager has been held. Model Town ACP Harinder Singh said they had received information that people gather in a large number at the bar and consume hookah, following which a raid was conducted and 14 persons were held. A case under Section 188 of the IPC, Section 51 of the Disaster Act, Section 3 of the Epidemic Diseases Act and the Tobacco Act has been registered.

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).
