Amritsar, October 8

Preparations for a meeting of the MC General House have been started by the agenda branch of MC. The issue of sacked 130 street light employees and sewermen would be discussed prominently. After an announcement in this regard by Mayor Karamjit Rintu, MC chief Kumar Saurabh Raj has issued instructions to the Agenda Branch to ask the in-charges of various departments of the MC to send proposals to discuss in the meeting agenda at the earliest.

The present House was formed in January, 2018 under the chairmanship of Rintu. Only 12 MC General House meetings have been held in the last 4.5 years. This is the lowest number of meetings of this General House.

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).
