Fazilka, November 20

Fazilka continues to report the highest number of stubble burning cases in the state for the third day today. Official sources said Fazilka reported 111 cases of farm fires, the second highest in the state after Moga (120 cases) on November 18. On November 19, 151 cases of farm fires, highest in the state, were detected.

Today, 168 cases of farm fires, again the highest in the state, were reported. The administration has registered 23 FIRs of straw burning in the district so far.

Sources said the Deputy Commissioner issued notices to seven nodal officers today for alleged dereliction of duty.

On the other hand, a large number of farmers along with their straw-laden tractor-trailers staged a protest outside the DC office and blocked the main road for a few hours today.

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).
