Mohali, May 10

The MC has asked GMADA to provide a fire tender that could cater to buildings with up to 104-m height. At present, the MC has fire tenders capable of extinguishing fire up to a height of 54 metres.

Mayor Amarjit Singh Jiti Sidhu has written a letter to GMADA in this regard. Divulging details, he said the corporation was making comprehensive arrangements to deal with fire incidents in the city in view of the hot weather. He said he also asked the GMADA authorities to make arrangements for training the fire brigade staff to operate fire tenders used for high-rise buildings.

The Mayor said besides, the construction work of a new fire brigade in Sector 78 was in full swing. He said it would cover new sectors and the Industrial Area, Phase 9.

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).
