Amritsar/Bathinda, August 2

Demanding a probe by a sitting High Court judge or the CBI, AAP state president and MP Bhagwant Mann today said the police-politician nexus was responsible for deaths due to spurious liquor trade in the state.

Mann, who visited the victims’ kin at Pandori Gola, Bhullar, Kaka Kandiala and Mucchal villages, alleged that the government functionaries had been hiding the illicit liquor death toll in the garb of Covid.

Meanwhile, AAP members staged a protest and raised slogans against the government in Bathinda. The protesters gathered near Fire Brigade Chowk in the afternoon and sought justice for the aggrieved families. — 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).
