The Moga administration has taken stringent action against a farmer who burnt paddy stubble in his fields, violating the ban. A “red entry” has been made in his land records, besides the imposition of a fine of Rs 2,500.

DC Vishesh Sarangal said they received information about stubble burning at Said Jalalpur village (Dharmkot tehsil). On investigation, the allegations were found true and action was initiated.

The National Green Tribunal and Pollution Control Board have adopted a zero-tolerance policy towards stubble burning, he said.

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).
