Deputy Commissioner Priyanka Soni presided over a meeting under the district environment plan for prevention of pollution in Ghaggar river and to enforce ban on single-use plastic.

Virendra Poonia, Regional Officer of Haryana State Pollution Control Board, informed the DC in detail about challans issued to single-use plastic ban violators in the district. District Development and Panchayat Officer Rajan Singla gave a detailed information on sewage of Batour and Shahpur villages in Barwala and Raipur Rani blocks, respectively, entering Ghaggar. The DC instructed public health officials to complete the sewerage work in the villages at the earliest so as to prevent the river from further pollution.

The DC also gave directions to issue maximum challans to stop use of banned plastic in the district.

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).
