New Delhi: Ahead of the festive season, the apex food regulator has launched a pan-India quality survey of khoya, an essential ingredient of sweets. The survey follows a recent representation to the Food Safety and Standards Authority of India by the Federation of Sweets and Namkeen manufacturers, who said they were being supplied adulterated khoya. A pilot survey in Delhi, which showed that failure of some khoya samples, led the FSSAI launch a national survey. Samples were tested for acidity, maximum added starch, added sugar, urea, detergent and neutralizers. 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).
