Himachal Pradesh State Civil Supplies Corporation officials visited the house of a woman here on Tuesday after a video of a dead rat allegedly found in the packet of pulses bought by her from a fair price shop went viral.

Civil Supplies Corporation Regional Manager Sanjeev Sharma, who visited the house at Jhulan village in Hamirpur district along with a team, said that they had recorded the complainant’s statement and sent a report to the state headquarters.

The report recommended that a reply should be sought from the National Cooperative Consumers Federation in New Delhi and appropriate action should be taken to ensure that there was no negligence regarding the quality of food items.

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).
