St Xavier’s International School, Zirakpur, held an awareness session on ‘Reducing plastic waste and solid waste management’. The session was led by environmental experts Sukhwinder Singh, Program Coordinator from the Swachh Bharat Abhiyan, and Gursewak Singh from the MC office, Zirakpur. The core focus was on empowering students to implement the 3 Rs (Reduce, Reuse, Recycle). Gursewak Singh emphasised that proper segregation — separating dry, wet, and hazardous waste — is needed. The interactive session motivated the students to become active participants in the national mission for cleanliness, making them champions of a zero-plastic and waste-conscious environment within their school and community.

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).
