The Administration is all set to remove Sanjay Colony of Industrial Area and Janta Colony in Sector 25.

The Deputy Commissioner’s Office has decided to remove Sanjay Colony on April 24. It is spread over 6 acres. The date for the removal of Janta Colony will be decided later.

Earlier, the High Court had stayed the Administration’s action. The court ordered that before demolishing the colonies, a hearing should be held. The Administration heard the residents of both colonies. However, it rejected the claims made by the residents, paving the way for demolition.

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).
