Patiala, November 9

Following the NGT ban, Delhi-based firecracker dealers are dumping their stocks in Punjab. The wholesalers in Punjab are reportedly being offered heavy discount, in addition to the doorstep delivery for bulk orders. The prices of branded crackers have already dipped by over 20 per cent.

A Delhi-based wholesaler said they were eyeing states where firecrackers had not been banned. “We have to clear our stocks to cut losses,” he said. Meanwhile, the air quality in Punjab has dipped from “moderate” to “poor” in the last two weeks following high number of farm fire incidents. inside

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).
