Dera Bassi, September 8

The Municipal Council today razed 13 shops near bus stand. The shopkeepers opposed the MC’s decision to demolish the “khokha market”, said to be around 33 years old.

A Duty Magistrate, Judge Jagjit Singh, said: “Today’s proceedings were carried out after a hearing. The market was illegal.”

Dera Bassi MLA NK Sharma said: “The Congress-ruled city council is bullying the poor. Covid has already made life difficult for people but they do not care for the poor.” — TNS

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).
