The Jammu Municipal Corporation has seized about 40 metric tonnes of polythene from a warehouse here as part of a crackdown on storage and distribution of banned materials, an official said on Tuesday.

JMC Commissioner Devansh Yadav, who led the operation in Rajiv Nagar area of Narwal on Monday night, said the seized polythene appears to be single-use plastic, which is banned in the Union Territory.

“The material will be sent to the Pollution Control Committee for laboratory analysis to confirm its composition. By appearance, it seems to be single-use polythene, but we will wait for lab results to confirm,” Yadav 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).
