Mohali: High drama prevailed in Jujhar Nagar when GMADA officials tried to start a demolition drive for 58 houses at Amit Enclave, where residents have been living for the past four years. Residents closed the gates of the area to prevent the entry of the officials and the police. Mohali SDM Jagdeep Sehgal and DSP Rupinderdeep Kaur Sohi also visited the spot and gave 15 days’ time to the residents. GMADA SDO (Regulatory) Harpreet Singh said, ‘’Due process has been followed. The demolition drive will continue in the coming days.’’ On Tuesday, GMADA officials had carried out a demolition drive for 60 houses in Guru Nanak Enclave of Jhampur. Residents alleged that their houses were being demolished while nearby colonies in the same khasra number were regularised. 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).
