Gurugram, march 24

Forest officials have found the remains of a leopard, 3 km from the landfill site in Bandhwari. Owing to the decayed condition of the carcass, the forest officials could not determine the sex of the animal.

“The carcass is old and all decayed. We cannot say how the animal died. We are investigating the matter,” said Wildlife inspector Rajesh Chahal. Local environmentalists, however, have blamed the death on a toxic water hole owing to leachate seepage from the landfill site in Bandhwari. They have demanded examination of the water hole by the pollution authorities.

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).
