Chandigarh, February 14

Two enforcement wing officials of the Municipal Corporation suffered minor injuries during an anti-encroachment drive in Sector 37 here late this evening.

According to officials, Kulbhusan, sub-inspector, and Avtar Singh, zone in-charge, suffered minor injuries on their back when a group of rehri-wallahs forcibly took away their impounded carts.

The two officials, along with a police constable, were carrying out the anti-encroachment drive when the incident took place. After they seized five rehris and loaded these in a truck, a mob of rehri-wallahs gathered there.

They allegedly pushed the two officials. They fell on the ground and suffered injuries. They later took away the impounded carts.

“We have given a complaint to the police in this regard. The injured persons got treatment at a local hospital,” said an official.

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).
