Gurugram, February 7

Accusing the district Forest authorities of Gurugram and Faridabad of turning a blind eye to rampant illegal non-forest activities in the Aravallis, a group of environmentalists has approached the Principal Chief Conservator of Forests, seeking immediate intervention.

The environmentalists claimed that they had been highlighting repeated instances of illegal activities and encroachment in the Aravallis since October 2019, but no action or deterrent was taken. They claimed that they had highlighted illegal encroachment, tree felling, burning of trees, filling up of gorges, illegal electricity connections, road construction, digging of illegal borewells and disturbance to wildlife at Haidarpur Viran.

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).
