Chandigarh, January 2

Municipal Commissioner Anindita Mitra has advised officials of the MC to use public transport, non-motorised vehicles and carpooling while coming to workplace till the time situation eases.

Mitra said due to the truckers’ strike, there was every likelihood of a shortage of fuel and CNG in the coming days. In order to meet with any exigency and to keep the vehicles of various services such as fire brigade, garbage collection, engineering and enforcement wing operational, everybody was duty bound to minimise the use of individual vehicles and save fuel in this time of crisis.

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).
