Chandigarh, October 2

The Chandigarh Housing Board (CHB) has won HUDCO Award for 2019-20 for best practices to improve the living environment under the theme “Housing, urban poverty and infrastructure”.

The award was given to the CHB for its best practices adopted in slum rehabilitation project at Maloya-I. Also, the practice adopted by the CHB, which demonstrated a positive and tangible impact on improving the living environment of people particularly the poor and disadvantaged, was recognised by the HUDCO award.

Official spokesperson stated that in Maloya, the CHB constructed 4,960 small flats under the slum rehabilitation programme, which were handed over to residents mostly from Colony No. 4.

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).
