Amritsar, May 15

After a long wait of 35 years, the advertisement wing of the Municipal Corporation has been provided a new truck for removing illegal hoardings. The truck which was being used to remove advertisement hoardings and boards posted illegally was in a poor condition due to being old.

Employees of the advertisement department had to face huge problems. The department officials discussed this problem with MC Commissioner Sandeep Rishi demanding a new truck.

The new truck, bought for Rs 40 lakh, was flagged off today by Municipal Corporation Commissioner Sandeep Rishi at Ranjit Avenue office.

Officers of the advertisement wing expressed their gratitude to the Commissioner and Joint Commissioner Hardeep Singh.

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).
