Ahead of the paddy harvest, the administration on Friday imposed a complete ban on the burning of paddy straw in the district.

The order issued by the Additional District Magistrate would come into effect from October 1 and will remain in force till November 30.

The order has been issued under Section 163 of the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023, (BNSS).

“The state government had already issued a notification under Section 19 of the Air Prevention and Control of Pollution Act, 1981, to impose a complete ban on the burning of crop residue across the state,” it reads.

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).
