Officials from Hisar Municipal Corporation (MC) recently imposed fines on four shopkeepers in Rajguru Market for failing to keep dustbins for waste collection, while another individual was penalised for dumping garbage in the open.

As part of its ongoing cleanliness drive, the MC has been urging residents not to throw waste in the open and to ensure that every shop keeps a dustbin. Municipal Commissioner Neeraj has directed officials to spread awareness about proper waste disposal, segregation of wet and dry waste and the use of only authorised municipal waste collection vehicles.

During the drive, two shopkeepers were also fined for using single-use plastic, while two more individuals were penalised for dumping garbage in the open.

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).
