Under the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan initiative, the MC led by Commissioner Rajat Oberoi organised an awareness visit for 50 students o a local college. The students were given organic manure made from wet waste.

On this occasion, Sunil Kumar Mehta, secretary of Health, MC, addressed the gathering. He explained how chairs, tables, bouquets and other decorative items could be made from discarded materials like wood, cardboard and plastic.

Health officer Navinder Singh informed the students that the aim of this campaign was to raise awareness among residents about cleanliness, reduce the use of plastic and its recycling. To achieve this goal, awareness camps will be organised in every neighborhood and various cleanliness programmes will be conducted in schools, colleges, and markets, he added.

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).
