Patiala, March 13

Eco Club of Khalsa College and the NSS launched an awareness campaign to make students aware of the adverse effects of single-use plastic.

Principal Dharminder Singh Ubha, while appreciating this initiative, said at present, consumer awareness about the negative effects of single-use plastic was limited. “This needs to be further strengthened through communication, strategic planning and consumer awareness campaigns. This will not only increase environmental awareness among citizens but also strengthen and encourage widespread action,” he said.

The officers of the NSS programme of the college, Sapna, Jagtar Singh and Rajbinder Singh, said use of single-use plastic products was harming the environment.

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).
