Gurugram, May 29

Sanitisers are being sold at hardware, meat and book shops since a licence is not required for the sale of products in the ayurvedic and cosmetic categories. The Drug Control Department conducted raided a number of hardware stores on Thursday and seized sanitisers in the ayurvedic, cosmetic and drug categories.

“You need a licence to sell sanitisers in the drug category. No licence is required for the other two categories. The product should be sourced from a licensed manufacturer, with label mentioning ingredients and date of expiry. There are conditions for storing sanitisers,” said Amandeep Chauhan, Drug Controller.

“People should buy sanitisers only from authorised stores or licensed manufacturers. The departments concerned need to maintain a check on the manufacture and sale of spurious sanitisers,” said Dr JS Punia, Civil Surgeon.

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).
