Chandigarh, June 10

The Municipal Corporation today started another “Rupee Store” at the Community Centre, EWS houses, Dhanas.

Promoting the concept of 3Rs, i.e. reduce, reuse and recycle, and use the items donated by residents to help needy people in the city, the Mayor, Anup Gupta, inaugurated the store in the presence of Anindita Mitra, Municipal Commissioner; Ram Chander Yadav, area councillor, and other prominent persons of the area.

People can buy items such as bed sheets, women’s suits, men’s trousers and shirts for just Re 1 per piece.

Speaking on the occasion, the Mayor said the MC had started a permanent RRR centre at New Bridge Market, near Jagat cinema, Sector 17, where residents could donate their reusable articles.

After cleaning, repair and refurbishing, these old articles would be sold at stores to be set up across the city for Re 1 per piece, he said.

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).
