SAD leader Bikram Singh Majithia on Tuesday alleged that the illicit liquor trade thrived under the patronage of the Tarn Taran SSP. “He should be booked and investigated by the CBI to ravel negligence on his part that led to the spurious liquor tragedy,” he said.

Addressing a press conference, the former minister along with party leader Virsa Singh Valtoha said the officer had refused to take action against the liquor mafia in Tarn Taran even after “evidence” was provided to him. Majithia claimed locals had submitted many complaints to him along with the address of spurious liquor manufacturers, but he chose to ignore it. — 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).
