The Chandigarh Stray Animal Incident/Accident Compensation Committee today approved 106 cases for relief.

Deputy Commissioner Nishant Kumar Yadav today chaired a meeting of the committee to review and expedite cases of compensation for victims of incidents involving stray animal. As many as 146 cases were taken up for consideration and after a thorough review, 106 were approved for compensation. The remaining cases were put on hold for further examination to ensure a fair assessment of damages.

The chairperson emphasised the need for a transparent and efficient compensation process in accordance with the guidelines provided under the related policy. Senior officials of the Police Department, the MC and the Health Department present in the meeting provided inputs on streamlining the process and addressing concerns related to invidents involving stray animals.

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).
