Deputy Commissioner Nishant Kumar Yadav today reviewed and streamlined the online permission system to be adopted for staging Ramlila or Dasehra this year.

During a meeting here, it was decided that in order to enhance transparency, efficiency and ease of access, permissions for staging Ramlila and Dasehra will be granted only through the designated online portal. Directions were issued to make the service portal, serviceonline.gov.in, operational tomorrow.

The DC emphasised that the entire process would function as a single window system, ensuring that applicants were not required to approach any other department for obtaining NOC. No fee will be charged and permissions shall be granted within seven days of the submission of complete documents.

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).
