India has reduced its greenhouse gas and carbon dioxide emissions, according to a new data submitted by India to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC).

In its fourth biennial update report India stated that in the period 2005 to 2021, an additional carbon sink of 2.29 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent has been created. Carbon sink refers to plantation of forest, river and trees which could absorb more carbon emissions.

Biennial update reports are submitted by developing countries to the UNFCCC every two years.

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).
