All illegal structures belonging to the poor or the rich built on the Aravali forest land near Khori village in Faridabad should be removed, the Supreme Court said on Friday as it once again refused to stay the eviction drive.

A Bench of Justice AM Khanwilkar granted four more weeks to the Faridabad MC to complete the “humongous task” after the civic body said that unauthorised structures on nearly half of the total 150 acres had already been cleared. It also brushed aside the concerns raised by the UN regarding people being evicted, saying “UN should have read our previous orders”. — 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).
