Bathinda, August 8

A team of Bathinda food safety wing of the Health Department has seized 1,300 boxes of spurious energy drink “Sting” from a truck on the Bathinda-Goniana road near Nehiawala village.

The Health Department also sealed a factory on Sivian road, which was allegedly involved in preparing the drinks.

The action was initiated after receiving a complaint from PepsiCo India. The food safety wing has collected samples of the drink and sent it for testing. Amritpal Singh Sodhi, Assistant Commissioner, Food Safety Department, said Parminder Singh, area manager, PepsiCo India, had been receiving complaints about spurious energy drink being sold in the market at a lower price. Sodhi said samples of the seized drink had been sent for testing and the factory had been sealed.

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).
