New Delhi, September 9

To check hoarding as well as contain edible oil prices, the Centre on Thursday asked state governments to gather details about stocks of edible oils and oilseeds from traders, millers, refiners and other stockists.

Food and Public Distribution Secretary Sudhanshu Pandey is expected to hold a meeting with state officials tomorrow to ensure that the order was followed, officials said, adding that the government was keeping a “close watch” on daily prices and imports of edible oils so that it could take appropriate measures to check rates. — TNS

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).
