Rotary Club Chandigarh Central's members launched a monthly “Trash to Treasure” initiative to tackle plastic waste pollution and promote beautification. The first event was held at Blue Bird High School, Sector 16, Panchkula, with members Madhu Bansal, Meena Singla, Sheenu Dania, Vandna Bhatnagar and Salini Aggarwal in attendance. The school's Interact club encouraged students and parents to participate, collecting around 2300 plastic bottles filled with used plastic bags and wrappers. The collected materials were creatively repurposed to construct three sitting areas around trees and create a rangoli.

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).
