Jhajjar, November 15

Air quality of Bahadurgarh continues to be “very poor” with Air Quality Index (AQI) reported at 366 today.

The AQI today was 41 points higher than Sunday, but lowest in the past four days. The Central Pollution Control Board recorded AQI 450 on Saturday, 481 on Friday and 416 on Thursday.

The poor air quality has taken a toll on the health of residents, especially children and people suffering from respiratory diseases. The number of patients suffering from breathing problems has risen considerably in government and private hospitals across the town.

Taking note of the situation, the district authorities have banned the operation of mechanised stone crushers and hot mix plants. The DC has also directed the officials concerned to ensure sprinkling of water on the roads to minimise pollution level.

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).
