Gurdaspur, May 31

Officials of the district Excise Department seized two trucks for carrying smuggled liquor from Chadha Sugar Mills in Kiri Afghana village, near here, on Saturday evening.

AETC Rajwinder Kaur Bajwa confirmed the development.

On the basis of a complaint filed by ETO Lovjinder Singh Brar, an FIR was registered at the Sri Hargobindpur police station.

“Acting on a tip-off, the officials impounded the trucks. The process of counting and verification of documents is still on. The trucks have been unloaded and the brands of liquor are being checked. I can comment only after the ongoing investigation is over,” said Bajwa.

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).
