Chandigarh, August 19

In order to save uprooted trees, the horticulture wing of the local MC has replanted 57 trees in two years.

Trees that get uprooted due to storm or rain are identified and replanted. Yesterday, a tree was found uprooted and was replanted near MCM DAV College, Sector 36.

“We started the practice over two years ago. This year, we have replanted 11 trees so far. Whenever we get information about an uprooted tree, we send our team there and get the work done,” said Superintending Engineer Krishan Pal Singh.

With the help of a JCB machine, the land is dug up and the tree is replanted. A number of replanted trees have already bloomed. — TNS

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).
