Senior officials of the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) conducted an inspection of the bamboo plantation at the Bhalswa landfill site on Tuesday and reported encouraging signs of healthy plant growth.

According to MCD officials, over 90 per cent of the bamboo saplings planted at the site have shown the emergence of new leaves, indicating that the plants are thriving. While some saplings appear dry, the department expects them to sprout new foliage in the coming days.

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).
