Chandigarh, July 23

Residents of the PGI have objected sharply to the axing of trees near the workshop road (B Block) on the campus.

A resident said several trees were either being pruned or axed in the name of beautification. The drive to axe the trees was halted today, but it again began in the evening.

“Officials claim that they have permission to cut trees. In the name of beautification, the trees are being axed,” said Gaurav Shoeran, a resident and student.

The officials concerned were not available for comments on the issue.

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).
