Ropar, January 8

Following instructions of Ropar MLA Dinesh Chadha, the Punjab Pollution Control Board has issued a notice to branded companies for not recycling the waste plastic envelopes.

Chadha said the companies had been violating the rules which were enforced to protect environment. He said it was mandatory for the companies to recycle 70 per cent of the plastic envelope.

The MLA said XEN Vijay Kumar of the PPCB and Dr Naresh Bharadwaj from the Punjab Infrastructure Development Board also visited Ropar garbage dump, where waste related to these companies was found.

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).
