Chandigarh, August 2
Residents today protested against digging up of a Sector 21-A public park for allegedly setting up of a mobile phone tower following which the work was stopped.
Residents said huge work force was deployed today to break the pathway in the park. As they started digging up the area, people gathered there.
“People protested against the illogical move. The authorities are trying to install this mobile phone tower right in the middle of a residential area. They have also damaged the park, which is considered heritage,” said Baljinder Singh Bittu, chairman, FOSWAC.
Activist Harmanjit Singh Sidhu added, “On the one hand, we are striving to maintain the heritage of the City Beautiful, while on the other, they are spoiling it. We will not let this happen.” — 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).
