Chief Parliamentary Secretary Ashish Butail said the government was preparing a special plan on solid waste management to make urban and rural areas garbage free.

At an event organised by the Municipal Council for the distribution of approval letters to the beneficiaries under the PM Awas Yojana (Urban) here, he said the cities were expanding but due to lack of suitable disposal places, heaps of waste were getting accumulated, creating pollution.

Butail underlined the need to increase income resources of the local urban bodies in meeting their expenses. He distributed approval letters to 30 beneficiaries under the PM Awas Yojana.

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).
