NURPUR, JANUARY 28

The Kangra district administration today lifted the ban on the sale of poultry products, fish and meat in Indora, Fatehpur, Jawali and Dehra subdivisions. The ban, however, will continue to be enforced in the 10-km radius of the bird influenza (H5N1)-infected zone (Bathu ki Lari) near Pong wetland in Fatehpur subdivision.

Kangra DC Rakesh Prajapati, who issued order of lifting the ban last evening, told The Tribune that after information from the Deputy Director, Animal Husbandry, that no poultry death had been reported in the district besides sharp decline in the mortality of migratory birds in Pong Wetland Birds Sanctuary, the administration had lifted the ban with restrictions only in some bird flu-infected areas around the Pong Wetland.

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).
