Chandigarh, August 18

The MC today issued the letter of intent (LoI) to the agency for biomining of legacy waste dump at the Dadu Majra landfill.

MC chief Anindita Mitra said the LoI had been issued to the agency for submission of performance bank guarantee within this week and that bio-mining work would start by the first week of September. She said the agency had given an assurance that the waste would be processed within one and a half years.

“This will not only address the problem of foul smell, but also put an end to incidents of fire. This will come as a relief to local residents as their demand will be fulfilled within a year and a half,” she added.

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).
