Shimla, April 19

Former Deputy Mayor of the Shimla Municipal Corporation Tikender Panwar has urged the State Election Commission to ban the use of flex boards in the upcoming MC elections.

“There should be a complete ban on the use of flex boards as the material is non-biodegradable,” wrote the Former Deputy Mayor.

Calling for a more eco-friendly approach and behaviour during the elections, Panwar said the use of plastic leaflets and flags had been stopped. Likewise, there should be a complete ban on the use of flex boards. The use of fossil fuel-driven vehicles should also be minimised, he added.

Panwar himself did not use flex boards when he contested the Shimla (Urban) seat in the recently held Assembly elections. Even for campaigning, he used a bicycle or moved around on foot in the constituency.

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).
