Chandigarh, October 15

The Chandigarh Housing Board (CHB) has released a list of defaulters of commercial properties.

An official said a sum of more than Rs56 crore in the form of instalment, ground rent and interest was pending against defaulters of the Housing Board properties in the city for years altogether.

Defaulters are mainly located at the Booth Market in Sector 38 (West), motor markets in different sectors and the grain market in Sector 26. The highest amount due was Rs1.35 crore from the allottee of a booth in Sector 38 (West).

The Housing Board will issue notices to all defaulters to urge them to deposit the outstanding amount at the earliest.

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).
