Karnal, January 9

Tightening the noose on violators using single-use plastic, the Karnal Municipal Corporation (KMC) has issued challans to nine shopkeepers and imposed a fine of Rs 1.11 lakh. The KMC also seized around 200 kg single-use plastic.

Ajay Singh Tomer, Commissioner, KMC, said the use of single-use plastic was completely banned and to enforce it strictly, they had conducted raids in different parts of the city. Team members seized single-use plastic from different shops of the town.

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).
