A district food safety team collected nine samples of various food items from jaggery makers and bakeries in Garhdiwala, Mukerian and Tanda areas.

District Health Officer Dr Jatinder Bhatia and Food Safety Officer Manish Sodhi said that during the checking done in different areas, a total of nine samples of milk, desi ghee, gram flour, salt, eggs, jaggery and sugar were collected. These samples have been sent to the Food Laboratory, Kharar, for testing.

Further action will be taken after receiving the report, the officials said, adding that during the checking, the owners and operators of jaggery rolling houses and bakeries have also been instructed to follow the guidelines of Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI).

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).
