Chandigarh, September 10

Disappointed over not getting any relief on regularisation of need-based changes on the Delhi pattern, the CHB Residents’ Welfare Federation has decided to call a mahapanchayat of nearly four lakh residents of the Chandigarh Housing Board (CHB).

Federation chairman Nirmal Datt said they would approach MP Kirron Kher and invite the Union Urban Housing Minister to the mahapanchayat. He said the Administration had recently rejected the Delhi solution for need-based changes in CHB houses.

“Once again, a blind eye has been turned to two intractable problems of excess coverage and encroachment that ail a large number of population,” he said, adding that it was not something new. The Administration had done it again and again since 2001.

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).
