Pathankot, August 12

The Pathankot Municipal Corporation (MC) on Monday celebrated International Youth Day by taking school students to waste processing units so that they could understand the concept of waste management and subsequently put it to use in their daily lives.

Sandeep Gautam, Solid Waste Management (SWM) expert, and Janu Chalhotra, Assistant Health Officer (AHO) of the MC, conceived and executed the idea of letting children learn new things about waste management following the guidelines issued by the Punjab Municipal Infrastructure Development Corporation (PMIDC). Students of Shaheed Makhan Singh Senior Secondary School were taken to the MC’s Material Recovery Facility (MRF). The children were told how compost is prepared from wet waste. Students were also exhorted not to use plastic bags.

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).
