New Delhi, October 4

To combat air pollution in Delhi, CM Arvind Kejriwal today announced a 10-point “winter action plan” that focuses on dust control, using Pusa bio-decomposer, installing smog towers and checking waste burning and vehicular emissions.

He also urged neighbouring states to retrofit thermal power plants in NCR areas with new technology and ensure the use of CNG-operated vehicles and cleaner fuel in industries. He claimed the Centre and neighbouring states have not done anything to check stubble-burning. — 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).
