Chandigarh, April 6

Less than a fortnight after a girl reportedly died after consuming a cake ordered online, a petition was filed before the Punjab and Haryana High Court by one Kanwar Pahul Singh today for directions to the Union of India and Punjab, among others, to ensure strict and effective implementation’ of the Food Safety and Standards Act.

Directions have also been sought to the respondents to adopt immediate and effective steps to check the sale of adulterated, misbranded, unsafe, substandard and expired food stuff such as milk, dairy and bakery products.

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).
