The Municipal Corporation carried out an anti-encroachment drive near the vegetable market in Sector 26 this morning and evicted nearly 75 illegal vendors.

The operation was executed jointly by the enforcement wing, the MOH, and the horticulture wing following the directions of MC Commissioner Amit Kumar. Watermelon, melon, and other fruit vendors had illegally occupied the green belt adjoining the mandi premises.

It was observed that slips were being issued to these vendors by the Market Committee and commission agents even as the area fell under the MC jurisdiction. The horticulture wing has been instructed to install barricades along the green belt to prevent future encroachments. The committee has been directed not to issue receipts or permits to unauthorised vendors.

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).
