Urban Development Minister Suresh Bhardwaj today said plastic waste was no longer a problem as it was being used as fuel in cement plants and for the construction of roads.

The minister was replying to a question on the poor waste management in the urban areas raised by Vishal Nehria under Rule 62 in the Vidhan Sabha. Bhardwaj said the local bodies were purchasing the plastic waste from people which was being used as fuel in cement plants and in road construction. — TNS

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).
