Home-bound migrant workers and women have a task at their hand, keeping one eye on belongings and the other at kids as they stray onto the road inadvertently.

The Punjab Transport Department, Zirakpur Municipal Council, PWD, Local bodies department, local MLA Kuljit Singh Randhawa and the bus stand officials have turned a blind eye to the problems the passengers face here.

This at a time when Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann and AAP convener Arvind Kejriwal on Monday discussed the measures and other initiatives, implemented by the Delhi government, in ensuring sanitation, clean drinking water and all-round development to city dwellers in Punjab also.

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).
