Chandigarh, November 6

Chief Secretary Sanjeev Kaushal today said the state had made significant strides under the ODF-Plus initiative by achieving 79.63 per cent progress as of November 2.

This marks a substantial leap towards ensuring cleaner and more hygienic living conditions for the residents.

The Chief Secretary was reviewing the progress made under the Swachh Bharat schemes. He said 5,411 villages (3,777 aspiring, 391 rising and 1,243 in model category) have achieved the ODF-Plus status.

The progress signifies a substantial improvement from the previous national average achievement level of 65.64 per cent as of August 3. DCs, panchayat representatives and officers of the Public Health Engineering Department joined the meeting through video-conferencing.

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).
