The Centre is making efforts to provide relief to people from air, water and noise pollution, Union Road Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari said on Friday. He said efforts were on to make CNG from stubble of paddy also. Green fuel and electric-run vehicles would replace those running on diesel and petrol, he said.

“By replacing petrol with ethanol, the environment would turn eco-friendly and it would be a shot in the arm for farmers from income angle,” Gadkari said while virtually inaugurating over half a dozen roads, including widening of some, passing through Brij area. — PTI

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).
