New Delhi, June 15

The Supreme Court on Monday stayed for 10 days disbursal of Rs 50 crore compensation shelled out by LG Polymers on the National Green Tribunal’s order.

A Bench headed by Justice UU Lalit asked the Andhra Pradesh High Court to dispose of petitions relating to the Vizag gas leak by next week.

The May 7 gas leak accident at LG Polymers’ Vishakhapatnam plant had claimed 11 lives and left several others injured. Taking suo motu cognisance of the industrial accident, the NGT had directed the South Korean MNC to deposit Rs 50 crore with the Vishakhapatnam District Magistrate. — TNS

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).
