Jalandhar, February 13

A team of the Food Safety Department, Jalandhar, comprising District Health Officer Dr Reema Gogia, Food Safety Officers Robin Kumar and Neha Sharma inspected dairy and grocery shops in Sheikhan Bazar, Saidan Gate and other areas of the city today.

The team collected nine samples, including two samples of dairy products, two tea leaves, three pulses and one each of coffee-chicory mixture and mustard oil. Dr Gogia said the samples would be sent to the FDA Lab, Kharar, for analysis. She said checking would be continued in future also.

Besides, the food business operators were instructed to ensure hygienic condition of the premises and display food license on the premises. Dr Gogia said anyone found violating the food safety norms would not be spared.

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).
