The Municipal Corporation has launched the National Action for Mechanised Sanitation Ecosystem (Namaste) scheme for sewer men.

MC Commissioner Amandeep Kaur said the scheme aimed at encouraging mechanical cleaning and providing safety to sewer men engaged in the risky job of cleaning sewers and septic tanks. Under the scheme, sewer men will be provided personal protective equipment (PPE) kits. They will also be provided health insurance cover.

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).
