Chandigarh, May 19

Chandigarh Congress president Pradeep Chhabra today sent a memorandum to UT Administrator VP Singh Badnore with suggestions for combating the hardships faced by residents due to the prolonged lockdown and to boost the local economy after the lockdown.

The Congress suggested that to mitigate the loss suffered by both employer and employees, the financial burden should be shared equally amongst the employer, the employee and the government. “The government should waive the electricity charges, water bills of the business enterprises,” they stated. The party said the tenants of both residential and commercial properties, who had to pay monthly rent, were facing huge losses. The Congress recommended the burden should be shared equally by the tenant and the owner of that particular property. — TNS

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).
