PLASTIC bottles are being carelessly discarded in many areas of Shimla, posing a serious threat to environment. These bottles are known to be highly toxic, taking years to decompose and causing long-lasting damage to ecosystems. It is imperative that the authorities take stricter measures to tackle this issue by imposing fines on individuals who irresponsibly throw plastic waste in open spaces. The government and local bodies must take immediate action to preserve the beauty and health of Shimla for future generations. —Jagdish, Shimla

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).
