Chandigarh, October 26

Shopkeepers of Sector 22-C blocked the road in front of the Kiran cinema this evening in protest against an anti-encroachment drive.

According to information, area Sub-inspector Bhupinder Kaur challaned shopkeepers for keeping articles in the corridors. The shopkeepers claimed they had been allowed to keep their goods in some area. When the SI did not stop the enforcement drive, the shopkeepers, along with local AAP councillor Damanpreet Singh, blocked the main road.

The protest led to massive traffic jams. The police reached there and removed the protesters from the road.

The traders said their meeting with the Municipal Commissioner had been scheduled for tomorrow on the issue.

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).
