Food safety officer Sunil Sharma, who raided the premises at 11 am, found three workers engaged in making various sweets in unhygienic conditions with dead insects in them. The sweets were meant to be sold during the festive season of Diwali and were being prepared in the open in large containers.

Sharma said that three quintals of adulterated sweets were destroyed and four samples of various materials were lifted for lab analysis. The factory was operating without registration or licence and its owner Saif Ali was challaned under the provisions of the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006. — TNS

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).
