Panchkula, April 10

A team of the district Planning Department today demolished seven illegally constructed DPCs, 400 m sewer line, a 500 m stretch of lane covered with interlock tiles at unauthorised colonies on 9 acres in Lahori village and 5 acres in Madhawala village.

District Town Planner Jaideep and Kalka Naib Tehsildar Jitender Gill were present as Duty Magistrates during the drive. A police team and a sabotage squad was also present to deal with any untoward incident. Even though people protested against sabotage, the department continued with its action.

Jaideep said a showroom at Paploha village was also demolished. He said notices were given to encroachers before taking action on unauthorised colonies and illegal constructions.

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).
