Ludhiana, July 4

Federation of Hosiery and Textile Manufacturers Association, Ludhiana, has threatened to start state-wide agitation over 33 dyeing units being served notice pertaining to ceasing their sewerage privileges, for allegedly polluting the Budda Nullah, without providing them any alternate site with the Common Effluent Treatment Plant facility.

Tarun Jain Bawa, president, said the state government had spent Rs 659 cr on setting up of a STP to clean the nullah without much foresight. He alleged since it was a scam in which PPCB officials were involved, no one was ready to listen to their concerns. He demanded a CBI inquiry should be conducted into the bungling of funds and that the industry should not be penalized unnecessarily.

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).
