Tarn Taran, October 1

Although the district administration claimed to have taken all necessary steps to check stubble burning, a large number of farm fire incidents were reported from several villages in the area on Sunday.

Clouds of smoke were seen touching sky on the link road leading from Bengalipur village to Sheron village that polluted the environment and reduced visibility.

The farmers burning paddy stubble said they had to sow peas before sowing wheat. They said there was no other option except to burn crop residue to prepare fields in a shortest time.

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).
