The Regional Office of the Punjab Pollution Control Board (PPCB) conducted inspections across the district to curb the sale of the banned Chinese kite string.

The teams visited Book Markets, Pickle Bazaar, Safabadi Gate, Samana and Rajpura. During the inspections, no shop was found selling the banned Chinese kite string.

Shopkeepers were urged not to sell the banned product. Additionally, PPCB appeals to the public to avoid using banned china string, manjha, nylon, or synthetic thread for kite flying, as these pose serious environmental and safety hazards.

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).
