Day after the Chandigarh Congress workers planted Bharatiya Janata Party’s (BJP) election symbol, the lotus, on the potholes at roads near the light point of Sector 19/27, the Municipal Corporation employees have carried out repairs.

Teams of civic body employees carried out patchwork on all the roads, drawing a reaction from Congress leader Harmail Kesri. The leader said they were thankful to the MC officers for starting the patchwork on the roads. He added that it was the party’s symbolic protest to highlight the poor condition of the roads during the BJP tenure.

They further demand that the civic body must carry out the drive to repair roads in all the sectors so that the commuters do not face problems.

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).
