Gurugram, February 2

Food adulteration has emerged as a big concern among residents and local authorities of Mewat in Nuh district.

Food Safety Officer Dr Ramesh Chauhan said they had collected as many as 46 samples of food items in Nuh district from October to December, last year.

Of these samples, at least samples of food items such as pulses, rice grains, cheese, sweets etc have failed the quality tests. The quality tests were conducted in a government-run laboratory in Karnal. The food safety wing of the Health Department revealed that the samples of the wheat flour, pulses and rice collected from the canteen of Medical College and Hospital at Nalharh were found infestated with pests and insects. The samples of desi ghee and curd collected from the famous Shyam Dairy in Tauraru also failed the quality tests.

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).
