Zirakpur, August 26

Local residents have alleged that they were getting water mixed with sewage for the past three to four days.

Residents in Baltana, Bhabat and nearby housing societies are forced to buy bottled water for drinking as there is a risk of diseases.

A social worker from a welfare society distributed 40 cans of drinking water among the residents and promised to get the broken sewage line restored in a day or two.

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).
