Chandigarh, March 15

City BJP leaders, along with traders, today gheraoed the office of the SDM (South) after the latter issued demolition notices to owners of shops at the Dhanas marble market and residents of Maloya village over various violations.

The leaders, including former city BJP chief Sanjay Tandon, Devinder Babla and Ramvir Bhatti, sat outside the office of the SDM and held a protest.

“City BJP president Arun Sood also spoke to the Deputy Commissioner and got a positive assurance following which the protest was called off,” read a BJP statement.

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).
