Shimla, October 2

Four garbage compactors procured under the Shimla Smart City project for Rs 1.40 crore were provided to the local Municipal Corporation today. Chief Minister Sukhvinder Singh Sukhu flagged-off the compactors on the occasion of Gandhi Jayanti at Chaura Maidan here.

CM Sukhu said, “Each of these compactors have a capacity of 14 cubic metres and an transport 11 tonnes to 12 tonnes of waste to the garbage processing plant at Bhariyal on the outskirts of Shimla city in one trip. This efficient operation not only improves waste management but also reduces transportation cost.”

He said, “We are working with dedication to realise Bapu ji’s vision of a cleaner, more sustainable future for Shimla and its citizens. These compactors will play a pivotal role in achieving that vision.”

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).
