Shimla, July 4

The Forest Department will undertake an afforestation drive on large chunks of barren hills to increase green cover in the state. As part of the drive, approximately 257 hectares of hilltops across 15 forest divisions would be covered under Mukhya Mantri Green Cover Mission in the current financial year.

The Chief Minister said, “The Forest Department has been directed to prepare a work plan to do plantation in approximately 10,000 hectares of land under various other departmental schemes, which would contribute to the state’s green initiatives.”

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).
