Chandigarh, June 8

The Punjab State Council for Science and Technology and the Consulate General of Canada, Chandigarh, collaborated to organise a series of week-long activities involving eco clubs of schools and colleges.

The culmination and prize distribution event of the World Environment Day celebrations were held at the Mahatma Gandhi State Institute of Public Administration, Sector 26. The event was graced by the Consul General of Canada, Patrick Hebert.

Rahul Tiwari, Secretary, Science, Technology & Environment, Punjab, encouraged youth to include four components in their life which could create a large impact. These were save water, plant one tree and nurture it for one year, segregate wet and dry waste at home and say no to single-use plastic items.

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).
