The Chandigarh Beopar Mandal (CBM) has urged BJP leaders for immediate redress of the issues being faced by its members.

Sanjeev Chadha, president, CBM, said recently, a delegation of senior functionaries from the CBM met MP Atul Garg, who is BJP in-charge of Chandigarh affairs, to discuss the anti-commerce policies announced by the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA). On the same day, another delegation met Union Minister of Law and Justice Arjun Ram Meghwal to apprise him of the traders’ issues and seek his intervention.

Chadha said their main demands included need-based changes in commercial building bylaws, rollback of anti-commerce policies and levies announced by the MHA and protection from harassment by local administration.

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).
