A delegation of the Chandigarh Beopar Mandal (CBM) has raised issues confronting local traders at the 44th Foundation Day celebrations of All India Udyog Beopar Mandal in New Delhi.

Sanjiv Chadha, president of the CBM, highlighted long-pending issues requiring Central Government attention, which include

notifying OTS for pending VAT assessment cases, need-based changes in obsolete building bylaws, constitution of Trade Board to timely address trader issues and constitution of GST appellant tribunal in Chandigarh.

He cautioned that a failure to address these concerns may lead to business migration from cities like Chandigarh to nearby states, rendering commerce non-productive and non-viable.

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).
