Chandigarh, February 8

The chain hunger strike by city AAP councillors entered its fifth day today. They are protesting outside the building of the Municipal Corporation (MC).

Today, councillors Yogesh Dhingra and Kuldeep Kumar Dhalor sat on a protest with four volunteers of the party. “This chain hunger strike will continue until strict action is not taken against the presiding officer Anil Masih, BJP councillors and nominated councillors,” alleged Dhingra.

Meanwhile, AAP councillors held a candle light march in their wards in the evening. “We want all people to know what illegal thing happened in the MC House. We do not accept this mayor and will continue our struggle,” added Dhalor, who was also the INDI alliance candidate for the top post.

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).
