Moga, September 24

District Magistrate (DM) Sandeep Hans, while exercising his powers under Section 144 of the CrPC and Sections 30 and 34 of the Disaster Management Act, 2005, today imposed a ban on burning of paddy straw by farmers.

A total ban on the use of paddy straw reaper machines has also been imposed by the district administration till December 31. The DM also banned the use of combine harvester machines without the super straw management system. “We will register a criminal case against anyone found operating the machine without the system,” he said. — TNS

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).
