Jalandhar, September 29

The Phulkari Women of Jalandhar conducted an event- the EcoWise Festival at the Hotel Regent Park here on Thursday. The event was meant to raise awareness about the harmful effects of plastic pollution.

DC Jaspreet Singh was the guest of honour at the event.

Simran Paintal, President, Phulkari WOJ, noted that although there are stringent rules, including the single use plastic ban in place since July 2022, the situation on ground is very different. Unless the public realises its responsibility, the world can never be free of plastic pollution.

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).
