A team from the office of District Town Planner, Panchkula, today demolished two under-construction illegal colonies at Nanakpur and Kona villages here.

Deputy Commissioner Monica Gupta said the action was initiated, wherein 10 damp-proof constructions (DPCs) were demolished with use of earthmover machines in the two illegal colonies in villages Kona and village Nanakpur.

She said Assistant Town Planners Ashok Kumar and Dimpy Rathi and Duty Magistrate Lalit Nanda, SDE, Housing Board Corporation, Panchkula, and police force were also present on the occasion.

She said the department had previously issued notices to the developers for removing the said colonies, but the constructions were not removed and the action had been initiated.

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).
