The Municipal Corporation today conducted an anti-encroachment drive in the Industrial Area Phase-II and Manimajra, Sector 13, as part of its ongoing efforts to keep public spaces obstruction-free and ensure smooth movement for residents.

MC enforcement teams identified several violations, including unauthorised extensions by shopkeepers, roadside encroachments and illegal occupation of public pathways, and issued 55 challans to violators.

The drive was carried out under the supervision of Joint Commissioner Himanshu Gupta.

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).
