Mohali, June 5

Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann has expressed concern over the depleting groundwater table and environment pollution in the state. He was chairing a function to mark World Environment Day.

He said immediate steps were required to conserve water and check pollution. He said almost all blocks in the state were in the dark zone as far as groundwater was concerned.

He said the state was using only 34 per cent of its canal water, adding that this would be enhanced in the coming days.

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).
