Amritsar, April 24

Punjab State Food Commission member Preeti Chawla, along with a team of officials, conducted an inspection of mid-day meals in several government schools at Gharinda, Lahorimal, Attari and Chheharta today. She checked record of Anganwadi workers, distribution of supplementary nutrition, mid-day meal food quality and ration while overseeing preparation of meals by cooks in various schools.

She said quality inspection of mid-day meals was mandatory every month. Any lapses in food quality would not be tolerated. She instructed officials concerned to ensure that benefits of government schemes reached people on time and Atta Dal scheme was implemented properly for the needy.

Meena Devi, district programme officer, briefed Chawla about the change in menu and procurement procedure of the ration followed by school management committees for mid-day meals.

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).
