New Delhi, July 19

The Delhi BJP has launched a ‘Jhuggi Vistarak’ campaign, an initiative aimed at improving the civic conditions in the city’s slum areas, while expanding the party’s presence at the grassroots.

Union Minister Mansukh Mandaviya announced the drive during a meeting chaired by Delhi BJP president Virendra Sachdeva. “Due to the Delhi government’s incompetence, the living standards in slum colonies were deteriorating by the day,” said Mandaviya.

Sachdeva alleged that there were nearly 30 Delhi Assembly constituencies with slums that still lack basic amenities.

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).
