To make Ropar city garbage-free, Deputy Commissioner Varjit Walia and MLA Dinesh Chadha on Wednesday launched the “Saaf Ropar” campaign.

Walia said they would remove litter from the main roads and colonies of the city.

The DC said 40 to 50 sanitation workers of the Municipal Council had been cleaning the city on a war footing with help of four tractor-trailers, mechanical sweeping machine and 11 door-to-door garbage collection vehicles.

Sanitation workers have managed a large amount of garbage lying on the roads and the main roads of the city have been given a new look. He said 6.5 km of roads had been cleaned so far.

MLA Chadha said Rupnagar would soon be developed as a model city.

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).
