New Delhi, February 9

The government on Thursday said lithium reserves had been found for the first time in the country in J&K. Lithium is a non-ferrous metal and is one of the key components in EV batteries.

“For the first time, lithium reserves have been discovered and that too in J&K,” Mines Secretary Vivek Bharadwaj said at the 62nd Central Geological Programming board meeting here. Upon exploration by the Geological Survey of India, lithium reserves have been found in Reasi district. Currently, India is import-dependent for many minerals like lithium, nickel and cobalt.

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).
