Chandigarh, January 6

A lack of coordination among various departments of the Municipal Corporation (MC) has not only caused inconvenience to the public but also led to a waste of public money.

According to residents of Sector 9-B, a potholed road was recarpeted in their area in August last year after a gap of nearly four years, after repeated demands by the residents.

Now, the authorities concerned have started digging it up for laying storm water pipes, they said, adding that the authorities should have laid the pipes before the re-carpeting work was started.

Similar complaints have been received from other parts of the city. — 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).
