Dera Bassi, April 20

The Punjab Pollution Control Board today directed to disconnect the power connection of a Samgoli-based meat plant after violations were found in the unit in March.

This was stated by Dera Bassi MLA Kuljit Randhawa. He said Fair Export Private Limited, a meat plant, was found violating the water pollution norms during a surprise checking. “The pollution control board has recommended to disconnect the power connection and shut down the plant completely. There will be no relaxation for units playing with the lives of people in the area,” he said.

Meanwhile, Randhawa today inaugurated the boring of a government tubewell in Hem Nagar, Baltana. He said two tubewells were already functional in the area and the third tubewell would cater to the water needs of people in a better way.

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).
