Chandigarh, October 19

Members of the Citizens for Inclusive Living (CIL), working for the welfare of people with mental and intellectual disabilities, today called on UT Adviser Dharam Pal and reiterated the demand for the installation of split ACs in the group home building in Sector 31.

Neelu Sarin, president, CIL, said they had taken up the issue with the Adviser earlier. “We thought with your intervention, the issue would be resolved, but it is not the case,” she said, adding she had received phone calls from parents over lack of suitable air-conditioning in the new group home.

She said they had consulted medical and engineering experts who suggested that the safest option was to install split AC system since window ACs were unsafe for such a facility.

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).
