Amritsar, March 7

After MLA Kunwar Vijay Pratap raised the issue of choking of sewers, Municipal Corporation Commissioner conducted an inspection of intermediate pumping stations (IPSs) and sewage treatment plant (STP) here yesterday.

MC Commissioner Harpreet Singh visited Khaparkheri STP along with Superintendent Engineer Sandeep Singh and Executive Engineer Manjit Singh. He visited some areas where choking of sewerage was reported and asked staff to open manholes. He found that pumps on disposal points were not working properly.

He also inspected IPSs on Batala Road and Mohkampura to check the proper flow of sewerage. He said the MC was receiving several complaints regarding sewer problems from various parts of the city.

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).
