Patiala, July 12

The local municipal corporation (MC) has started issuing challans to those involved in illegal sale of meat and fish products in the city.

Officials said MC sanitary inspectors today visited the fish market on the Central Library road and challaned shopkeepers selling fish and meat products without permission.

MC Joint Commissioner Jeevanjot Kaur said, “A number of shopkeepers sell meat and fish products illegally. A separate fish market has been developed on the Devigarh road. We will soon rid the city of the illegal sale of fish products.”

It may be mentioned that animal meat and fish products were being sold without permission at various shops in the city.

The MC official said, “Animals cannot be killed for meat at any place other than those designated by the government.”

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).
