Pehowa Sub-Divisional Magistrate (SDM) Abhinav Siwach on Saturday launched an anti-encroachment drive in the city, and appealed to shopkeepers to voluntarily remove encroachments in two days.

The SDM reached the market area in the city with teams of the Pehowa Municipal Committee and the departments concerned. Siwach directed the officials to remove encroachments, many of which have existed for over 50 years.

The SDM said: “No encroachment will be allowed in the city. All shopkeepers have been given some time to remove encroachment on main roads and market areas. If shopkeepers do not remove the encroachment themselves, the administration will take action as per rules.”

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).
