Gurugram, October 12

In order to curb the stubble burning incidents in Gurugram, the administration has decided to fine farmers for burning stubble in the district. A fine of Rs 2,500 per acre will be levied on those involved in stubble burning. Deputy Commissioner Nishant Kumar Yadav said the district administration was fully prepared to curb the menace. “Teams have been formed by the district administration at the district, sub-divisional, block and village level to monitor stubble burning in their areas concerned,” Yadav said.

The officials also said necessary instructions had been given to the Environment Control Department for this.

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).
