The food safety team of the Health Department today raided a shop selling dairy items on Rahon Road and found 1.5 quintal of paneer, suspected to be adulterated. It was purchased from a vendor from another district this morning.

The shopkeeper purchased the paneer for Rs 180 per kg from the vendor. The team has taken samples of paneer and ghee from the shop and destroyed the whole stock of paneer on the spot. The officials also collected samples from sweets shops on the cemetery road, Rani Jhansi Road and Karimpura Bazaar.

The team has also taken eight samples of paneer, ghee, cham cham, cake, ghee, khoya and namkeen.

All samples were sent for testing and action will be taken as per reports.

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).
