Panchkula, September 7

The Federation of Residents Association (FORA) has urged local MLA and Haryana Assembly Speaker Gian Chand Gupta to construct concrete sheds for victims of the fire incident at the Sector 9 rehri market to prevent any such occurrence in future.

In a memorandum submitted to Gian Chand Gupta today, FORA president RP Malhotra and general secretary Bharat Hiteshi also demanded that all rehri markets, including those in Sector 7, 11 and 17, should be allowed to construct concrete sheds.

They said all rehri markets of the city were the lifeline of the middle-class society and visited daily by thousands of youth, elderly and women to buy essentials available at reasonable price.

FORA senior deputy head GS Chahal said the power supply system at the Sector 9 rehri market was not good and all 148 vendors were getting electricity from a single connection.

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).
