Deputy Mayor Mohali Kuljit Singh Bedi has written an urgent letter to the Deputy Commissioner (DC) over the increasing jhuggis (shanties) and heavy infrastructure pressure caused by to it.

The Deputy Mayor further said that while the Chandigarh administration is consistently seen taking strict action against illegal encroachments, Mohali administration is extremely slow and negligent.

“Recently Chandigarh administration took action on illegal jhuggis near Phase 2, after which the jhuggi dwellers have moved towards many colonies of Mohali like Amb Sahib Colony, Udham Singh Colony, Jagatpura, Badmajra and other areas. The growing population of these jhuggi dwellers has put serious pressure on the area’s basic infrastructure,” he said.

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).
