Moga, June 26

The police have arrested a man for allegedly selling fake fertiliser in the district.

Agriculture Development Officer Gurloveleen Singh said he got a complaint from Gurbhej Singh and Rashpal Singh, both residents of Mundi Jamaal village, that Harjinder Singh, a resident of Fatehgarh Panchtoor village, had supplied them with fake fertiliser under brand name “Fertis”.

The agriculture officials said 1.32 quintal fake fertiliser had been recovered from the suspect, who was selling it in villages without a valid licence or permission from the state government.

The police have registered an FIR under Sections 420 of the IPC and 7 of the Essential Commodities Act at the Fatehgarh Panchtoor police station and arrested the suspect. — 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).
