Mohali, June 15

Taps have been running dry for more than a month in Dera Bassi’s Mor Thikri village and four housing societies. Local residents of the Mubarikpur-Ramgarh road locality are facing scarcity of drinking water and no solution has been found yet.

Water tankers are providing respite to the residents but charge exhorbitant rates from them. Shiv Shakti Colony, Shaheed Bhagat Singh Colony and two other colonies are the worst hit here. A resident said normal life has been thrown out of gear here for more than a week now. They appealed to the administration to provide them with regular supply of clean drinking water at the earliest.

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).
