Hisar, August 10

Heavy rainfall exposed poor sewerage in Hisar on Saturday as posh localities, including Officers Colony, Green Park, Police Lines Area (PLA) sector, Rishi Nagar, Surya Nagar etc, were inundated.

Rainwater entered the Civil Hospital and some schools, besides houses in several other localities, including Urban Estate, Model Town, Mill Gate, new sabzi mandi, old subzi mandi, Jawahar Nagar, Fawwara Chowk and the residential sectors of the HVSP.

Residents alleged the Public Health Engineering Department had failed to clean the drainage system, despite several requests by them and other officials of the administration.

Local MLA and Haryana Health Minister Kamal Gupta had also taken the officials to task before the onset of monsoon and directed them to ensure efficient drainage system. — 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).
