Teams of the Haryana State Pollution Control Board (HSPCB) have started collecting samples from various locations across the state to check pollution levels in the Yamuna and other water bodies. The teams collected nine samples from various locations in the Panipat area on Saturday.

The Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) had directed the HSPCB to take immediate action to carry out water quality monitoring at various locations under the National Water Quality Monitoring Programme. The CPCB directed it to collect samples before April 14 and submit reports by April 21. Following the CPCB directions, HSPCB member secretary S Narayanan directed regional officers to collect samples of all water bodies before April 14 to assess the impact of lockdown. — 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).
