In a step towards sustainability, Municipal Corporation Chandigarh (MCC) is set to install five ‘Bench of Dreams’ made from recycled plastic at public spaces as part of the ‘Swachhata hi Seva’ campaign.

Joint Commissioner Gurinder Singh Sodhi launched the initiative today. The benches were donated by K Ganesh, Director of Sustainability and Corporate Affairs at Bisleri, through their CSR programme.

MC chief Vinay Pratap Singh said by transforming discarded plastic into functional public amenities, the initiative underscored the MC’s dedication to building a sustainable community. He added that these benches would soon be installed in parks.

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).
