Mohali, September 15

To weed out the stubble burning menace, the district administration here has conceptualised an exclusive idea to depute nodal officers in every village for ground level monitoring.

More than 400 nodal officers have been deputed in villages for strict enforcement and monitoring at the village, cluster, tehsil, and district levels to keep air pollution under check, said Mohali Deputy Commissioner Girish Dayalan.

A publicity van was also flagged off from the District Administrative Complex here to create awareness among farmers for the cause.

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).
