Hoshiarpur, May 6

District Health Officer Dr Lakhvir Singh took seven samples of food items during an inspection in Hoshiarpur to provide adulteration-free food items to the people in the district. He said that adulteration will not be tolerated in the district at any cost and warned that strict action will be taken under the Food Safety and Standards Act, 2006.

The District Health Officer, with the food safety team, took samples of mixed fruit juice and synthetic food colours from the Shankar Juice Bar in Hariana and samples of snack sauce, petha, laddu dana, mayonnaise and chili sauce from a vehicle supplying sweets and food items in Hoshiarpur. He said that all these samples are being sent to the Food Testing Laboratory, Kharar, for testing, and after a report is received, necessary action will be taken.

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).
