The Property Federation of Chandigarh has expressed serious concerns over proposed increase in collector rates for various categories of properties in the city.

In a letter to the UT Administrator, Gulab Chand Kataria, Kamaljit Singh Panchhi, president of the federation, stated that the move could significantly drive up property prices in Chandigarh, which may lead to a decline in property transactions within the city. Consequently, investors might be more inclined to purchase properties in the neighbouring cities, he said.

Panchhi urged the Administrator to intervene and direct the Chandigarh Administration to reconsider any further increase in collector rates, emphasising that such a step would be in the public interest.

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).
