Gurugram, May 31

As the strike by sanitation workers entered 10th day on Wednesday, Gurugram Municipal Corporation has started lifting the garbage from streets and the DC has imposed Section 144 across the city.

As reported by Tribune, sanitation workers are clashing with outsourced vendors clearing the city off garbage and are obstructing sanitation work. The DC while imposing Section 144 has banned gathering of more than four people, carrying arms. Those trying to disrupt the ongoing process will face action.

“They have a right to strike, but they cannot hold the city to ransom this way. They cannot obstruct MCG while it tries to remove the garbage piled on city roads. We will take stern action if they continue,” said DC Nishant Yadav.

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).
