Shimla Deputy Commissioner Anupam Kashyap has directed all district forest officers (DFO) to submit the current status report on forest land within a week. In a meeting with all SDMs and DFOs through video-conference regarding demarcation of forest land in the district, various issues related to the implementation of Supreme Court orders in this regard were discussed.

The Supreme Court has directed states and union territories to identify forest lands, take possession of them and hand over non-forest land occupied by the Revenue Department to the Forest Department.

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).
