Chandigarh, July 31

A Bapu Dham Colony (BDC) resident received the shock of his life when he saw Rs1.54 lakh as his water bill today.

Chander Pal was taken aback as the bill amount is just for May-June months for his two-room small house. It is also mentioned that if the bill is paid after the due date, Rs1.74 lakh will be charged.

Several people are complaining of such hefty and “bogus” water bills these days. However, MC officials do not seem to bother. The MC has not issued any clarification regarding this.

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).
