Sangrur, June 26

Barnala has become fourth district in state to enter the green zone of Swachh Bharat Mission (Gramin) by declaring 25 per cent of its 122 villages open defecation free plus (ODF plus).

Congratulating the Barnala district administration for its achievement, the Minister for Water Resources and Environment and local MLA, Gurmeet Singh Meet Hayer, said their efforts had borne fruit.

He said, “Under the Phase I of the Swachh Bharat Mission, toilets have been constructed in homes. Now, under Phase II of the project, special attention is being paid to public cleanliness.”

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).
