The Kullu Regional Office of the Pollution Control Board (PCB) celebrated 50 years of its establishment here on Saturday. The celebrations began with the lighting of the ceremonial lamp, following which a cake was cut to mark the PCB’s 50th anniversary.

Thereafter, a cleanliness drive, in collaboration with the Kullu Municipal Council, was held at the HIMUDA shopping complex in Sarwari area of the town.

Kullu PCB Regional Officer Sunil Sharma said the drive focused on promoting environmental awareness and sustainability.

“Participants diligently collected the littered solid waste, ensuring the area was thoroughly cleaned. The initiative aimed to inspire the local community to adopt cleaner and greener practices,” he added.

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).
