Amritsar, October 20

The district health administration has warned sweet sellers against selling adulterated and substandard food items to the residents during the festival season. As the Diwali festival is just a few days away, the demand of sweets has increased.

The health officials stated that it was being suspected that some sweet sellers might use unfair means to cash in on the high demand, hence the food wing had started conducting surprise checks at sweet shops.

Civil Surgeon Dr Charanjit Singh said the samples of different food items were being collected regularly. “People need to become vigilant and buy food from trusted manufacturers,” he said.

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).
