The local MC today issued 86 notices and challaned eight persons on the first day of its drive against water wastage. The drive will continue till June 30. Of the eight challans, two were issued for washing vehicles and three each for washing courtyard and irrigation of lawns with a hosepipe.

Most of the notices were issued for violations like overflowing water tanks, leakage in meter chamber, installation and use of booster pump on water supply line and wastage due to non-installation of bib taps. “We have formed various teams for visiting different localities to check the misuse of water,” said an MC official. —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).
