Sangrur, October 17

The District Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission, Sangrur, has directed a liquor supplier to pay Rs 15,000 to a local resident for selling a bottle of liquor for Rs 765 while the listed price was Rs 750.

Advocate Amit Kumar Bhalla complained that on January 14, he had to pay Rs 765 for a bottle of whisky at a local liquor shop while the listed price was Rs 750. When he complained about it to the employees at the shop, they allegedly misbehaved with him.

“The commission has directed the liquor supplier to pay Rs 15,000 — Rs 10,000 for mental tension and Rs 5,000 as litigation expenses — and has directed the supplier to comply with the order within 60 days,” said Bhalla.

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).
