Dalhousie, June 30

An extensive seed-sowing week from July 1 to 7 would be organised across the four forest ranges Dalhousie, Bakloh, Chowari and Bhattiyat within the Dalhousie Forest Division of Chamba district.

DFO Rajneesh Mahajan said the initiative is aimed at making a significant impact on the forest cover through reforestation during the monsoon season, thereby strengthening the region’s biodiversity.

During the week-long event, approximately one quintal seeds of various species would be planted. The proposed species include sheesham, amla, kachnar, khair, reetha, baheda, harad, amaltash, chuli, dadu, and pansara, among others, he said.

To ensure a balanced distribution of efforts, the seed-sowing activity would be focused on areas within each forest range that had been affected by arson and soil erosion.

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).
