The Sirmaur Health Department has issued an advisory urging residents to be cautious with fireworks and vigilant against food adulteration during Diwali. Chief Medical Officer Dr Ajay Pathak highlighted a rise in food adulteration cases around festivals and advised careful purchasing of sweets and food items.

On fireworks, he warned about the health risks for those with respiratory issues, advising them to avoid high-smoke items like sparklers and chakris. The department has also prepared emergency response plans for any incidents.

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).
