Chandigarh, November 16

Paid parking contractors on Tuesday said they would move the Punjab and Haryana High Court regarding the licence fee payment issue with the Municipal Corporation.

Two days ago, the civic body had asked the two agencies to clear their licence fee dues to the tune of about Rs4.48 crore in a week or face termination of the contract of managing 89 paid-parking lots. Gurnam Singh, who is managing zone 1 parking lots, “We are going to the court. We will talk to the other agency and will jointly file a case.” Zone 2 contractor also confirmed to move court. Citing losses, the two firms had sought fee exemption on account of lockdown during the second wave of Covid, a few “non-feasible” parking lots and free parking extended to all MC employees.

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).
