Zirakpur, November 8

The Dhakoli railway gate will be closed for three days due to urgent maintenance work. Railway officials said the gate would be closed at 8 am on Wednesday (November 9) and opened at 6 pm on Friday (November 11).

Commuters using the route will have to use alternative routes via Panchkula, Nagla and Gazipur roads. The closure will impact residents of Zirakpur, Dhakoli and Peer Muchalla area. For a long time, people have been demanding a railway underpass at this gate, but to no avail. During peak hours, long traffic jams are witnessed at the gate.

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).
