Union Environment Minister Bhupender Yadav on Tuesday chaired a high-level review meeting on efforts to curb air pollution in Delhi-NCR. Attended by officials from Delhi, Haryana, Punjab, CAQM and NITI Aayog CEO BVR Subrahmanyam, the meeting assessed key measures, including the installation of Online Continuous Emission Monitoring Systems (OCEMS), deployment of Air Pollution Control Devices (APCDs), and improved waste management.

Mechanised road sweeping and dust control efforts were also reviewed, along with preparations to address stubble burning. Yadav urged implementation of OCEMS and APCDs in high-emission industries and stressed the need for coordinated action.

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).
