Kurukshetra, October 7

Adopting a zero tolerance policy against stubble burning, the district administration has warned farmers of registering FIRs against them if they are found burning paddy residue.

In Kurukshetra, 31 villages have been kept in the red zone while 108 villages have been kept in the orange zone.

DC Sharandeep Kaur said, “Officials of the Agriculture Department, Patwari and gram sachivs have been asked to keep a watch on paddy straw burning and take action. Reports of fire incidents have been received from Haryana Space Applications Centre.” — TNS

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).
