New Delhi, December 17

Congress Chief Whip in the Rajya Sabha and former Environment Minister Jairam Ramesh has written to Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla against the proposal to send the Biological Diversity Act (Amendment) Bill, 2021, to a select committee of Parliament.

In the letter, a copy of which is with The Tribune, Ramesh argued that the Bill should go to the Standing Committee on Science and Technology, Environment, Forests and Climate Change.

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).
