Chandigarh, August 30

Several households in Sector 29 have not been getting proper water supply for the past three days due to a broken water pipeline.

Residents said they were getting water supply at low pressure. Those living on upper floors were not getting water supply at all. This had made them look for water tankers. “We went to the local water supply office to complain. They said Monday was a holiday so they could not fix the problem. Then, I called up an MC official to at least send a water tanker,” said Mohan, a local resident.

The broken pipeline is resulting in water wastage, but officials do not seem to bother. Water was seen flowing on a road the whole day.

Commuters, especially two-wheeler riders, had a tough time wading through the watelogged road. An MC official said they would soon get the issued resolved. TNS

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).
