Chandigarh, December 20

A cycling tour of the City Beautiful was held for 100 officials from 35 cities of India, who have come here to participate in the Healthy Streets Capacity Building Workshop, this morning.

The routes were carefully planned to ensure that the site visit gave a deeper insight about city’s cycling-friendly infrastructure.

“Chandigarh is a case study for how cycling can be prioritised and popularised,” said Rahul Kapoor, Director, Smart Cities Mission, Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs. “Chandigarh was chosen among the top 11 cities under the India Cycles4Change Challenge and has been a front runner in the Streets4People Challenge,” said MC chief Anindita Mitra.

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).
