Chandigarh, September 26

Even after the passage of nearly two months, the Municipal Corporation has failed to repair a caved-in portion of a park in Sector 33-A.

Due to the cave-in, a segment of the iron grill had also given way, posing a threat to residents, especially children. However, the authorities have failed to take remedial measures.

Wing Commander SK Ahluwalia (retd), a resident, says: “Initially, it was a small pit. The MC got it filled with sand, but following rain, it caved in further. Despite repeated complaints, the damaged portion has not been repaired.” He adds: “Small children play in the vicinity. It poses a big risk to them. Is the MC waiting for an accident to happen? They must take preventive measures.”

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).
