The air quality index (AQI) of Gurugram was slightly better than Delhi and Ghaziabad on Tuesday.

As the AQI was still under the “poor” category, civic body officials carried out inspections and issued challans for violations of the prohibitory orders issued under Stage-2 of the Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP).

The average AQI of Gurugram on Tuesday was 217, compared to 355 in Delhi. The average AQI of Faridabad was 205 while that of Ghaziabad was 269.

Gurugram MC Commissioner Ashok Kumar Garg said they were taking several measures to control deteriorating air quality.

He said 413 challans had been issued so far. He added that the MC had imposed a fine of Rs 13.20 lakh on units, found violating the prohibitory orders.

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).
