Chandigarh, March 23

In a major raid conducted in the Industrial Area, Phase 2, nearly 660 kg of banned items of single-use plastic have been seized from a trader.

The raid was jointly conducted by the Chandigarh Pollution Control Committee (CPCC), the SDM (East) and staff of the MC.

A case was registered against Sonu, the owner of the godown from where the banned material was recovered. He was arrested.

Recently, the CPCC had sealed eight shops for the use of banned single-use plastic items and their electricity connections were also snapped. —

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).
