Chandigarh, June 1

After it was highlighted in these columns that street vendors were operating from Rock Garden and Sukhna Lake, which are no-vending zones, no street vendor was seen at these spots today.

An enforcement team of the MC raided the tourist places in the morning. “Vendors are smart. Since the news appeared in the newspaper, they knew the enforcement wing will make a check and did not turn up today,” said a staff member at Rock Garden.

“It is not a permanent solution; the MC should permanently station a vehicle there. If the MC doesn’t get strict with them, the hide-and-seek game will continue,” he said.

Though the Punjab and Haryana High Court has declared Rock Garden and Sukhna Lake (Sector 1 to 6) as no-vending zones, street vendors can be seen operating outside these tourist places whenever they find the MC team lax.

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).
