Jammu, December 14

A ‘Clean Indus, Green Indus’ initiative was undertaken by the Army in which 250 soldiers and 100 members of local community carried out cleaning of Indus River banks in Leh.

The cleaning was carried out over a 3-km stretch of the river banks. Discarded plastic, polythene bags and bottles were removed, resulting in the collection of three truckloads of garbage.

The campaign was aimed to raise awareness among the community, tourists and school children about the importance of keeping the water bodies clean.

“Army’s initiative was well received and appreciated by all present, with the slogan ‘Jawan Aur Awam Hasil Hai Muqam’ (Soldier and citizen, together we achieve success) resonating throughout the event,” an official spokesperson said.

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).
