Patiala, November 4

National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR) chairman Priyank Kanoongo on Thursday highlighted how paddy stubble- burning in Punjab is affecting Delhi.

He also highlighted negligence on part of the Punjab government.

In a tweet, he said stubble is being burnt in Patiala leading to pollution that is affecting the people in Delhi. He said children there were unable to go to school.

Kanoongo said that following the dangerous levels the AQI had reached in the national capital, the NCPCR had issued a notice to the Delhi government. He said the current situation was because of the lapses on the part of the Punjab government.

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).
