Chandigarh, March 1

Commissioner, Food and Drug Administration, Punjab, KS Pannu, today prohibited the distribution, supply and sale of food articles through Online Food Supply Aggregators (OFSAs) related to Food Business Operators (FBOs), who had not got their hygiene rating done.

The orders also prohibit the OFSAs from sourcing food from the FBOs, which are not hygienically rated and also where such rating is less than three out of five.

The prohibitory orders will be effective in the entire state of Punjab for the period of one year, with effect from April 30, 2020. — 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).
