The Una district administration has deployed men and machinery to prevent fire incidents, especially in pine-based forests, during the summer season, officials said on Saturday.

Deputy Commissioner Jatin Lal held a meeting on Saturday to review the preparations made for the summer season and issued guidelines to the departments concerned to take necessary steps to deal with any untoward incident.

Instructions were issued to Forest Department officials to deploy vigilance teams and monitor them keeping in mind the possibility of forest fires. Jatin also asked them to keep the firefighting equipment functional.

He directed the Jal Shakti Department to identify areas prone to a water crisis and find a quick solution.

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).
