Panchkula, February 18

Members of the Panchkula Vikas Manch today held a protest against the paid parking system introduced by the Municipal Corporation in various markets.

Rakesh Agarwal and Seema Bhardwaj, members of the mach said, paid parking in Sector 8, 9 and 10 markets will put an additional burden on shopkeepers. The duo said the shop owners would have to shell out Rs 30 to Rs 40 per day for parking their vehicles.

Members of the manch said the civic body should immediately stop the paid parking system as it would give relief to shopkeepers as well as shoppers.

The shopkeepers said before the Assembly election, the local MLA had promised that the paid parking would not be introduced, but after winning the polls, he introduced the same.

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).
