Alleging official apathy, residents of Sector 29-C on Saturday set horticulture waste piling near their houses afire. They lamented that despite their repeated reminders to various departments of the Administration, no one got the waste cleared. “Due to the horticulture waste, snakes, venomous insects and pests are posing threat to us daily. Many times, snakes enter our homes. Children are forced to stay indoors as snakes are seen in verandahs and open areas. Children and elderly have stopped going to parks in the evening. But, the authorities concerned are unmoved despite our repeated complaints,” said a resident.

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).
