Patiala, October 11

Officials of the Health Department today raided various sweets shops in the district and collected samples.

Some of the areas visited by them to check adulteration included Nabha town, Nabha-Bhadson road and Lehal Colony in Patiala city.

During the raid, the team led by District Health Officer Daljeet Singh collected seven samples of sweets, including barfi, laddoo, milk cake and patisa.

Daljeet Singh said action would be taken against the shopkeeper if the sample failed the quality test. He said samples had been sent to the state food testing laboratory at Kharar in Mohali.

Sources said the department received lab reports of food samples in three to four weeks. Until they receive a lab report confirming adulteration, health officials cannot take action against the sweets shop owner concerned.

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).
