Chandigarh, June 6

Sixteen heritage items of the UT will go under the hammer in Paris on June 14. The items, designed by architects Pierre Jeanneret and Le Corbusier, are likely to fetch between Rs 5.06 crore and Rs 5.97 crore.

The items include a low double-sided storage cabinet, removal single bed, a low chair, a storage unit, a sofa and two armchairs, buffet bas, a set of four armchairs, a pair of sheet metal walls, a desk, a set of four armchairs, a bookcase, a large desk, a set of 12 armchairs, a large dining table, a chest of drawers and a set of two stools.

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).
