A Punsup inspector was placed under suspension today after he was caught with a commission agent for making bogus purchase of paddy on MSP.

Food and Supply Department officials said Inspector Jagwinder Singh was posted in the Sanaur mandi of Patiala, where he and arhtiya Ranwa Trader Company made bogus bills for purchase of over 1,300 metric tonnes of paddy.

A raid was conducted on the premises of the arhtiya by market committee officials. The inspector uploaded the I-form, showing 2,065 quintals of paddy purchase through the agent, but checking of stocks revealed fake entries of 1,310 quintals.

The arhtiya’s licence has been suspended and an FIR against him has been recommended. — 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).
