Amritsar, July 30

The biggest commercial building, Nehru Shopping complex, is crying for maintenance. The portion of the stairs has come off and steel bars stand exposed posing a risk to visitors.

Traders and others visiting Nehru Shopping complex get stunned after witnessing debris scattered on the stairs. This also raises a question mark over the quality of material used for the construction of the building and its poor upkeep by the Amritsar Improvement Trust (AIT).

The visitors to the complex are concerned about their safety during their visit here, but the AIT seems to be in a deep slumber.

“The building fell into bad shape within 25 years of its construction. The authorities should take care of the building,” said Arshdeep Singh, a worker at the shopping complex.

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).
