Panchkula, October 19

The administration has prohibited the manufacture, sale and use of all kinds of firecrackers except green crackers within the district limits till January 31.

The District Magistrate, Mahavir Kaushik, issued these orders while exercising powers under the Explosive Act, 1884, and the Explosive Rules.

As per the orders, the Regional Officer, Haryana State Pollution Control Board, Panchkula, has been directed to monitor the air quality regularly and upload the data on the relevant websites.

Kaushik said the non-compliance or violation of the orders would attract the relevant penal action as per the Indian Penal Code, the Explosive Act, 1884, and the Explosive Rules, 2008.

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).
