Chandigarh, November 11

An MC team today penalised the contractor of a parking site in front of Kiran Cinema in Sector 22-D with Rs7,500 for overcharging.

A law student, Arshdeep, had sent a complaint on MC Commissioner Anindita Mitra’s WhatsApp number that on the eve of Diwali, a parking attendant near Kiran Cinema issued a slip of Rs30 instead of the parking fee of Rs12. The MC Commissioner immediately ordered factual details of the incident. The inquiry team of the MC found the contractor violated the norms.

On the order of MC Commissioner, the team issued a challan to the parking contractor for violating the norms for the fourth occasion. A fine of Rs7,500 was imposed for overcharging. — TNS

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).
