The Union Territory of Chandigarh has emerged as national leader in the State of India’s Environment 2025 rankings, scoring an impressive 89.09 out of 100.

The annual report, compiled by the Centre for Science and Environment (CSE) in collaboration with a magazine, assesses the performance of states and UTs across critical environmental and sustainable development indicators such as forest and biodiversity, climate, waste management, water resources, etc.

Saurabh Kumar, Chief Conservator of Forest, and Director, Environment, Chandigarh, stated: “This recognition is a result of collective action by our Administration, civic bodies and most importantly, the residents of Chandigarh.”

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).
