Mayor Harpreet Kaur Babla with Union Minister and BJP national president JP Nadda at the Chandigarh airport on Friday.

During the meeting, Mayor Babla highlighted the financial constraints that have hindered the corporation’s ability to undertake essential ward development and overall infrastructural projects in the city. She expressed concerns over the lack of funds, which has stalled several key development initiatives, directly impacting the residents of Chandigarh.

Nadda, who was on his way from Bilaspur in Himachal Pradesh to New Delhi, assured the Mayor of making every effort to address the issue at the earliest. He emphasised his commitment to finding a solution that ensured the smooth functioning and development of Chandigarh.

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).
