Yamunanagar, May 10

Seth Jai Prakash Polytechnic, Damla, Yamunanagar district, has designed and fabricated a decontamination box (almirah) to sanitise old records and office documents.

This box is fitted with four ultraviolet-C (UV-C) lamps. UV-C light is used to kill or inactivate microorganisms by destroying nucleic acids and disrupting their DNA, leaving them ineffective to perform vital cellular functions.

Besides using such boxes in its educational institutes including Seth Jai Parkash Polytechnic, the management of the Mukand Lal Educational Institutes will provide these boxes to other institutes and health authorities too.

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).
