Chandigarh, April 3

Leader of the Opposition Partap Bajwa on Wednesday accused the government of violating the Supreme Court’s guidelines to stop illegal liquor trade in the state.

“The government failed to comply with the SC guidelines and, consequently, 21 people from different villages of Sangrur district died by consuming contaminated liquor last month,” Bajwa added.

The CLP leader said the Punjab and Haryana High Court had issued a notice to the government, asking why it failed to follow the guidelines of the Supreme Court that were laid down to stop the illegal liquor menace.

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).
