The Health Department has sealed a desi ghee manufacturing unit and seized 368 kg spurious ghee from its premises along the Tarn Taran road here. Assistant Commissioner, Food Safety, Rajwinder Pal said they had collected samples of desi ghee from a shop near Gurdwara Shaheeda Sahib around a month ago.

“After the samples failed the quality test, we decided to inspect the manufacturing unit. On reaching there, we found that vanaspati ghee was being mixed with refined oil to make it look like desi ghee. Artificial essence was also added to it,” said the official.

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).
