Amritsar, October 14

A team of the Amritsar Improvement Trust (AIT) visited Ashok Vatiak School, near New Amritsar on GT Road, to take action against the illegal construction. In the absence of police assistance, the AIT team failed to demolish the illegal construction.

Barjinder Mohan, executive officer, AIT, said, “We took partial action on the school. They had constructed some rooms without taking building approval. The duty magistrate was not available due to farmer demonstrations in the city. Next time we will go with the police assistance to take the action”.

Suresh Sharma, an RTI activist, said, “The AIT has been serving notices to schools management but they are ignoring. We welcome the action of AIT.” — TNS

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).
