Fatehgarh Sahib, March 2

A team of the Mohali Vigilance Bureau investigated newly constructed roads with interlock tiles in the Sirhind-Fatehgarh Sahib Municipal Council.

The team collected the samples of interlock tiles and checked the material. The investigation was initiated after the complaint of Darshan Modi, a resident of Sirhind.

He had alleged that a sewerage pipeline was laid from the BDPO office, Sirhind, to the Nagar Council office. A reinforced cement concrete road was to be constructed on it, but sewerage board officials allegedly constructed the road of interlock tiles. Not only this, the material used in the road was of very poor quality, he said.

The technical team said tiles at several places were inspected and the samples would be sent to a lab for examination and action would be initiated only after getting the report. — OC

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).
