The Shimla Municipal Corporation is installing five Swachh ATMs at various places in the city to keep it clean. People can throw water bottles, tinned bottles and plastic wrappers into these ATMs. Interestingly, people will get some credit points every time they throw waste into the ATMs, which could later be encashed.

Municipal Commissioner Ashish Kohli said that the MC was moving towards mechanised sweeping of the city. “We bought two street sweeping machines from Italy some time back. Besides, Power Grid Corporation has given us a sweeping machine and a compactor under its CSR scheme,” he added. “We are getting two more machines from Power Grid Corporation, one for sewerage cleaning and the other for littering solution,” he said.

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).
