Faridabad, March 12

The crime branch team of Sector17 here has arrested three persons in connection with the trading of spurious salt under Tata brand name. As many as 1,925 packets of the salt have been recovered.

A cop said the accused — Ayush of Sector 88, Udit of Old Faridabad and Mahender of Bharat Colony — had been found storing and selling salt packets (small bags) under Tata’s name in an illegal manner. He said the accused used to pack the salt in packets having fake labels of Tata and supply to retailers in the city. A raid was carried out after a complaint was lodged by a Tata representative.

The trio have been remanded in judicial custody. —

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).
