Mohali, October 12

The Zirakpur Municipal Council (MC) today sensitised members of the Resident Welfare Association of the Royal Estate about the significance of the Swachh Bharat Mission.

Mohali Deputy Commissioner Aashika Jain appealed to the residents to desist from using single-use plastic, including plastic carry bags and utensils. Besides, she distributed compost made from wet waste for pots and kitchen gardens.

Ravinder Singh Gill, the programme coordinator, dwelt on the subject of source segregation. He urged members of the general public to ditch plastic for cloth bags.

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).
