Muzaffarnagar (UP), November 18

Over 50 cases have been registered in five western Uttar Pradesh districts, including Muzaffarnagar, against those violating a ban on bursting of firecrackers, officials said on Wednesday.

They said people in some areas burst firecrackers during Diwali despite a ban, leading to registration of the cases—17 in Muzaffarnagar, 11 in Bulandshahr, 10 in Meerut, six in Baghpat and seven in Hapur.

The Uttar Pradesh government had imposed a ban on the sale or use of firecrackers in these districts, besides some others, till November end in view of high levels of air pollution and the COVID-19 pandemic. 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).
