Chandigarh, March 8

While cancelling an agreement for maintenance of a roundabout, MC Commissioner Anindita Mitra today ordered to review all permissions given for maintenance of roundabouts to different agencies.

Mitra today ordered to cancel the agreement for maintenance of the Sector 32/33/45/46 roundabout maintained by a Sector 37-based private agency.

The MC Commissioner ordered the Superintending Engineer, Horticulture, MC, to submit a maintenance report of all 30 roundabouts for which permission was granted to agencies, along with pictorial evidences and maintenance records. She said all non-performing agencies would face cancellation of the pact.

“We shall be revisiting all MoUs. If the condition of chowks is not improved within a few weeks, we shall resume them and maintain them ourselves,” she added.

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).
