A team of the UT Estate Office today carried out a demolition drive near a chowk adjacent to the Mani Majra police station.

The land was acquired by the UT Administration years ago, but had been encroached upon and several shops had come on it. The drive will continue tomorrow.

The encroachers opposed the drive and raised slogans against the Administration. However, due to the presence of a large number of police personnel, the drive was carried out peacefully.

Before the drive, the shops and houses were first evacuated, after which more than 25-30 structures were removed.

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).
