To make the city free of single-use plastic, the UT Administration will strictly implement the Plastic Waste Management (PWM) Rules, 2016.
To preserve the environment and make Chandigarh plastic-free, the UT Administration has already banned single-use plastic.
For better enforcement of the plastic ban, the Chandigarh Pollution Control Committee (CPCC) organised an interactive meet of stakeholders, including the CPCC, the MC and law enforcement agencies involved in enforcement and regulation of the PWM Rules. The stakeholders were updated with the recent amendments, present status and areas for improvement. The chief sanitary inspector and sanitary inspectors were briefed on ways to wriggle out of the confrontation and challan procedure with non-compliant/defaulting units for smoother implementation of the PWM Rules.
To sensitise the Health Superintendent, the chief sanitary inspector and the sanitary inspectors, the notification of the UT Administration issued on September 27, 2019, and its amendments on complete ban of identified single-use plastic/thermocol items were discussed at length and queries addressed.
The authorities requested the public to refrain from using any of the banned single-use plastic items.

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 four 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 paper. 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).
