The joint efforts of the district administration, police department, agriculture department, HDFC’s CSR brand Parivartan and CII Foundation have led to a significant reduction in stubble burning in Khanna with 75 villages achieving an impressive 95% non-burning status.

SDM Khanna Baljinder Singh Dhillon, who is currently under transfer, shared that non-burning reached about 95% in the current season. “Only two cases were reported-one turned out to be from Fatehgarh sahib and the other a false report with no fire incident,” the SDM shared.

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).
