Mayor Harpreet Kaur Babla has sought UT Administrator Gulab Chand Kataria’s intervention to ease the ongoing power crisis in the city.

Residents have been facing regular power cuts and voltage fluctuations for the past two months. The Mayor highlighted that the issue is affecting every section of society. “The situation has worsened since the privatisation of the electricity department,” she pointed out.

She requested Kataria to direct the departments concerned to ensure uninterrupted power supply across Chandigarh and improve the complaint redress system.

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).
