Mandi, November 17

Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) teams today seized 27,000 packaged drinking water bottles from two industrial units in Mandi district for violation of the BIS Act 2016. These units were manufacturing packaged drinking water bottles without the BIS certification mark.

Kumar Animesh, Director and state branch head of the BIS, said on a tip-off, two teams of the BIS conducted raids on two units. During investigation, it was found that both units were manufacturing packaged drinking water bottles without the BIS certification mark, which is punishable under the BIS Act 2016.

He said under the BIS Act 2016 and the FSSAI Act, no person could manufacture and sell bottled drinking water without the BIS mark.

“Both teams seized 27,000 packaged drinking water bottles — 15,000 from one industry and 12,000 from second industry,” he added.

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).
