Rajya Sabha MP Balbir Singh Seechewal on Monday raised the issue of air pollution and lamented the lack of support from Centre to address the problem.

Speaking during Zero Hour, Singh said despite the Punjab Government having suggested last year to the Centre that funds could be shared for helping farmers who are forced to burn stubble, no heed was paid to the proposal.

Despite no help from the Centre to resolve the issue, Punjab is being blamed for causing air pollution, he added.

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).
