Chandigarh, March 15

Aiming to provide affordable items to those in need while promoting the concept of reducing, reusing and recycling, the Municipal Corporation has opened its seventh ‘One Rupee Store’ at the Community Centre, Sector-56 here today for two days.

Mayor Kuldeep Kumar inaugurated the store in presence of councillor Manaur. He said the MC’s permanent RRR center in Sector 17 has received an overwhelming response from citizens, enabling establishment of this store. The store offers a variety of items such as clothing, crockery, kitchenware and toys – all priced at Rs 1 per item.

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).
