Bathinda, January 18

The police have arrested seven persons for smuggling 504 bottles of illicit liquor and 250 litres of country made liquor in Mansa district.

Mansa SSP Surendar Lamba said: “As part of a special drive against bootlegging and drugs trafficking, the district police on a tip off raided different areas recently and seized a cache of illicit liquor. Seven persons were arrested.

“Apart from country made liquor, illicit liquor of a Haryana-based brand was also recovered during raids and at special checkpoints. Those arrested are being booked under relevant sections and interrogated to find out their links with others involved in the network.”

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).
