Jammu, April 22

The Ladakh Pollution Control Committee (LPCC) celebrated World Earth Day on Monday.

To mark the day, the LPCC organised a cleanliness drive at Leh Nallah in which students from Government Girls Higher Secondary School, Leh, and Sindh Public School, Leh, took part.

The cleanliness drive began at Karzoo and concluded at Shenam. The students displaying placards and banners spread awareness among the citizens to eliminate single-use plastic (SUP). Ruksana Parveen, District Officer, LPCC, Leh, stressed on the need to eliminate single-use plastic, which has a high littering potential.

The students were encouraged to carry forward the message of elimination of single use plastic by becoming responsible citizens of the country.

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).
