Chamba, May 22

DC Rana, Chamba DC, has asked the people to avoid using single-use plastic products as per the directions issued recently by the HP Environment, Science and Technology Department to ensure compliance with the norms under the Environment Protection Act from July 1.

The DC said the banned items included plastic spoon, bowl, fork, knife, tray, straw, packing films, cards and cigarette packs manufactured from materials listed under the HP Non-Biodegradable Garbage (Control) Act for packaging and serving food.

He said the ban also covered the polystyrene-related items, including earbud sticks, balloons, flags, candy sticks, ice cream sticks and decorative items.

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).
