The police today recovered 457 bottles of illicit liquor of a Haryana brand and 250 litres of ‘lahan’ in Mansa district. Seven persons allegedly involved in bootlegging were arrested and booked under various sections.

Mansa SSP Surendar Lamba said: “As part of a drive against drugs and bootlegging in the district, an operation was conducted and the district police recovered a cache of illicit liquor.” The police, after getting a tip-off, conducted a raid and nabbed two persons with 35 cartons of illicit liquor in a car. After interrogation, another suspect was arrested. Two of the accused were minors who were produced before a local court, which sent them to a juvenile home in Faridkot. — TNS

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).
