Jalandhar, March 11

Acting on a complaint, the Health Department on Wednesday seized and destroyed 150 litres of ‘cooking medium’ being prepared by mixing vanaspati, ghee and ghee flavour.

The company was being run on the name of SV Trading and the inspection was done in the presence of the company’s owner. The ‘cooking medium’product was being packed and sold under different brand names of RG, Honey Lite and Home Queen.

A team of the Health Department raided a godown in the Royal Enclave area where a person was seen making adulterated desi ghee with various concoctions, including vanaspati ghee, flavour, dalda and palm oil. “The spurious ghee was being prepared with palm oil. The team seized 150 litres, which was found at the spot, and destroyed the same by burying it near the site,” a member of the team said.

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).
