Panchkula, August 26

The entrance to a public park in Sector 9 has been encroached on for storing building material, which has irked local residents.

The encroachment, which has come up near an under-construction stilt 4 structure, has raised eyebrows. The construction of the stilt 4 structure has also caused damage to an adjacent building which has developed cracks.

A portion of the public park encroached on by raising walls near Brahmarishi Yoga Training College, Sector 19, Chandigarh.

The encroachment has not only marred the park’s aesthetics but also infringed upon the rights of the local residents to enjoy a dedicated community area. They have expressed their frustration and distress over the continuing encroachment.

A number of residents have resented the loss of a cherished public space and the potential threat posed to the structural safety of adjoining buildings.

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).
