Chandigarh, August 21

The Punjab and Haryana High Court today issued a notice of motion to the Chandigarh Administration on a petition seeking removal of illegal encroachments by shopkeepers and mechanics at the Motor Market in Sector 48-C.

The matter was brought to the High Court’s notice by Co-Operative House Building Society, Sector 7, Chandigarh, through counsel Baltej Singh Sidhu.

Appearing through video-conferencing, the petitioners prayed for directions to the respondents to consider and decide a legal notice dated June 24 on the removal of illegal encroachments. It was contented that encroachments were outside the area allotted to shopkeepers and motor mechanics under the “Allotment of Sites on Leasehold basis to Auto Spare Part Dealers and Auto Repair Mechanics in Chandigarh Scheme, 1999”.

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).
