Bathinda, August 12

A day after news report related to disposing of cattle carcasses into Sirhind canal’s tributary was published in The Tribune, the Irrigation Department swung into action and removed five carcasses from the canal. Later, the cattle were buried near Mehma Bhagwana village in Bathinda.

Jaskaran Singh, SDO, Irrigation Department, said, “We have informed the villagers that carcasses should not be disposed of into the canal. We have also directed beldars to intensify monitoring.”

Meanwhile, Water Resources Minister Harjot Singh Bains today urged the livestock farmers not to dispose of carcasses into waterbodies. The minister said carcasses should be buried as per the guidelines.

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).
