Vij issues order on common land

Chandigarh: Urban Local Bodies Minister Anil Vij has asked officials to transfer the ownership of common places such as parks, roads, community centres and sports grounds in the recently approved colonies in the government name. “Common places are still in the name of property dealers in the revenue records. This can lead to legal complications later,” he said. 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).
