Twitter has been flooded with a plethora of memes after central government unleashed GST upon commodities which were not under the ambit of taxation till now and simultaneously hiking tax upon few other items. However, Paneer butter masala remains trending as the hike has left dish lovers sulking.

In the course, many have put out a riddle for people to calculate aggregate GST on Paneer butter masala dish, taking into account the tax imposed individually on Paneer, Butter and Masala which is 5 per cent, 12 per cent and 5 per cent respectively.

Many others have expressed their agony wondering whether they will be able to eat paneer butter masala now after GST hike.

Dish lovers have expressed their disappointment in peculiar ways with hilarious memes.

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).
