Chandigarh, February 14

In order to ensure that the noise level doesn’t exceed the permissible limit during campaigning, Chief Electoral Officer Dr S Karuna Raju, deputed different teams from the Punjab Pollution Control Board (PPCB).

Dr Raju said a nodal officer from the PPCB had been deputed in each district to monitor the noise pollution caused during the election campaigning.

As per information, five notices were issued to AAP, three to Congress, two to SAD-BSP, one to PLC-BJP, while one notice was issued to Independent candidate Paramjit Singh. Dr Raju said as many as 12 notices had been issued to different political parties for causing noise pollution so far.

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).
