Chandigarh, June 30

Residents of Sector 22-C were in for a surprise after they found the gates to a neighbourhood park locked today.

The park, which recently received a major makeover, had been open from one side, despite having multiple entries. The MC had recently taken over possession of the park, which was earlier encroached upon by bamboo chick dealers. “All entrances should remain open. We have to cross the entire road to enter the park,” said Amit Mittal, a local resident.

“The authorities have merged two parks into one. This goes against the approved plan. If these parks are made for public, these should be open for all,” said Ravinder Singh, an area resident.

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).
