Liquor vends across Amristar city slashed prices by 30 per cent to 50 per cent to clear their existing stocks by April 1.

The price cut, which came into effect two days ago, has sent Bacchus lovers into a frenzy. According to norms, liquor vends are not allowed to carry forward their stock to next fiscal year, prompting them to offer deep discounts to customers. “Every year, we reduce price to clear our stocks before the new licence holder takes over on April 1,” said a salesman.

A beer bottle priced at Rs 250 was being sold for Rs 120. Liquor vends could be seen offering special discounts to those buying in bulk.

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).
