Chandigarh, July 11

Leaders of the Chandigarh Youth Congress leaders took out a symbolic march with a cylinder pyre in protest against the rising prices in Sector 28-A here today.

Youth Congress leader Manoj Lubana ‘Mauji’ said the increasing fuel prices would eventually lead to an unprecedented hike in the prices of all household items and essential commodities, which would have a direct impact on the common man.

“The country’s GDP is crashing, unemployment is rising and fuel prices are skyrocketing. The petrol price is either close to Rs100 per litre or has crossed the mark in many cities. The price of LPG has crossed Rs900,” he added. — TNS

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).
