Fatehgarh Sahib, February 5

On the directions of the National Green Tribunal (NGT), rolling mills in the industrial town of Mandi Gobindgarh will shift from coal to piped natural gas (PNG), relatively a cleaner fuel, from March 31.

There are about 250 rolling mills in Mandi Gobindgarh.

“The pipeline for the supply and distribution of PNG has already been laid completed. To help the industry, the state government has reduced VAT on the PNG from 13.4 per cent to 3 per cent,” DC Amrit Kaur Gill said while presiding over a meeting of the district environment committee here 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).
