Ninety-eight incidents of stubble burning were reported during the corresponding period last year.

At 43 sites, crop burning was verified physically. An environmental compensation of Rs 1,95,000 has been imposed in 41 cases and Rs 1,65,000 has been recovered. Forty-one FIRs under Section 223 of the BNS have been registered against farmers for disobeying the order and indulging in stubble burning. However, the police action has not gone down well with the farmer unions. The SKM has announced a meeting in Chandigarh on Saturday to decide the next course of action.

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).
