New Delhi, June 15

Based on Interpol warning, the CBI has alerted the police and other enforcement agencies against racketeers selling fake hand sanitiser, manufactured using the highly-toxic methanol, and fraudsters posing as PPE and other Covid-19-related medical suppliers taking advance payment for supplies.

CBI officials said after receiving the input, the agency immediately alerted the police authorities in states and Union Territories (UTs) to remain vigilant about such gangs using the modus operandi to make quick money. The officials said the Interpol had also cautioned against criminal activities indulged in by some ghost suppliers, who are approaching hospitals and health authorities posing as representatives of manufacturers of PPE kits.

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).
