The police today claimed to have recovered 600 cases of smuggled country-made liquor during checking of vehicles.

DSP Gurbans Singh Bains said a police team led by Bassi Pathana DSP Amarpreet Singh and Narpinder Singh, SHO, Badali Ala Singh police station, had laid a naka at the T-point near Hansali village.

He said they stopped a canter (HR-08A-6044) from which 600 boxes of country-made liquor were recovered. The canter driver, identified as Payush of Shimla district in Himachal Pradesh, was arrested as he failed to answer the liquor-related queries of the cops.

A case was registered against the driver under the Excise Act.

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).
