Aam Aadmi Party activists staged a protest and submitted a memorandum to the Municipal Corporation Commissioner against demolishing the wall of a temple near Shivala.

AAP activist Ankur Gupta said the Municipal Town Planning (MTP) wing of the MC had demolished the wall of Radha Krishna Temple on December 31, 2022 without any prior notice. Now, the building inspectors of the MC are again pressing the priest residing in the temple.

Gupta claimed that the family of the priest had been residing there for several years and the MTP wing of the MC had been violating rules. “Without a notice or court order, demolishing the wall of the temple is an act of blasphemy. Today, we staged a protest and also submitted a memorandum to the MC Commissioner,” Gupta.

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).
