Bhopal starts shifting Union Carbide waste

Forty years after the gas tragedy, the Madhya Pradesh Government has begun work to remove 377 metric tonnes of hazardous waste from the now-defunct Union Carbide factory in Bhopal to an incineration site in Pithampur near Indore. The development comes weeks after the MP High Court chided the authorities for not taking action despite repeated directions to clear the site.

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).
