Patiala, December 18

The police and the Excise Department in a closely coordinated exercise seized 700 boxes of illicit liquor in Patiala.

Patiala SSP Varun Sharma said the seizure was made from Ghuman Nagar on Saturday. The SSP said, “Acting on a tip-off, we nabbed Dharamvir Singh of Sector 25, Chandigarh, and Chuna Ram of Bhimra.

The police have registered a case against the suspects under various sections of 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).
