A while ago, the Punjab government launched ‘Mission Tandarust Punjab’ in order to improve upon the quality of food and to emphasise cleaner air and water. Assuring compliance with and support for Tandarust Punjab, fruit traders have met the Deputy Commissioner Amritsar and have requested to organize a formal Ethical Fruit Ripening Training, said Mr Kahan Singh Pannu, the Mission Director.
Corrective, not penal action is the aim of the government and it is indeed heartening to know that people are ready to support the Mission. Kahan Singh Pannu further stated that on the behest of traders, the programme has been chalked out to organize immediate training workshops in all the main mandis of the state and CDs of the lectures would be prepared and sent to the smaller mandis/markets so that methods of ethical ripening can be taught.
