Chandigarh, August 29

The city Municipal Corporation today conducted an extensive enforcement drive across Sectors 45, 46, 48, 36, 37, 15 and 19.

The drive was conducted under the direction of MC Commissioner Vinay Partap Singh and under the supervision of Joint Commissioner Isha Kamboj and enforcement inspectors.

\A large number of unauthorised items on public land, including auto-rickshaws and stalls, were seized. A total of 47 challans were issued to violators. Meanwhile, the MC swung into action on the issue of illegal parking and removed autos and commercial vehicles parked on footpath in Sector 46.

Gurpreet Singh Gabi, who had raised the issue in the General House of the MC, said these auto drivers had illegally occupied all footpaths and even bathed and defecated there. Illegal activities also took place in these autos, he alleged.

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).
