Rohtak, March 9

A demolition squad of the Town and Country Planning Department demolished two farmhouses being built illegally and in violation of specific orders of the Punjab and Haryana High Court on the outskirts of Rohtak city today.

Rohtak District Town Planner (DTP) Mandeep Sihag said these farmhouses had come up in de-licensed land of Omaxe City in a green belt even after the stay orders on the construction passed by the High Court, and were hence demolished.

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).
