The UT Administration has decided to carry out joint exercise with the MC, Engineering Department, Estate Office and CHB to identify and safeguard their respective lands from encroachers.

UT Chief Secretary H Rajesh Prasad today reviewed key administrative issues like encroachments on government land, e-office, grievance portal, parking and ongoing initiatives with senior officials of the Administration. He emphasised the need to protect all open government land from encroachment. Each department would submit a monthly report in the prescribed format regarding the status of encroachments in their areas and action taken.

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).
