Chandigarh, January 19

The use of single-use plastic has cost seven shopkeepers dear as their showrooms and booths have been sealed over non-payment of challan amount.

Under the Environmental (Protection) Act, 1986, the Chandigarh Pollution Control Committee (CPCC) directed the Estate Office to seal seven shops located in different areas of the city.

An official said that the owners of the seven showrooms and booths were fined Rs 5,000 for using polythene, but they did not pay the fine.

Following an order by the SDM, the showrooms and booths in Sector 34, 31, 20, 19 and 48-A were sealed.

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).
