More than 40 women workers have scripted the success story of the Solid and Liquid Resource Management System (SLRMS) at the Amritsar Cantonment. The Amritsar Army Cantonment started the project in 2018 and soon the entire area became garbage-free.

While launching SLRMS on the pattern of ‘Vellore model’ promoted by an expert C Srinivasan, the cantonment authorities had hired only women living below the poverty line for the task. Over 10,000 people reside in the cantonment. The project is generating revenue by recycling garbage.

Meena, a worker said, “We don’t hesitate to pull cart. Several women become self-depended with this project. This is a permanent job and we are getting all benefits while working in the organised sector.”

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).
