The statue of Mahatma Gandhi lies in a state of utter neglect. Municipal staff does not even perform the customary washing on October 2, Gandhi Jayanti. No official or social organisation bothers to garland it, making the installation meaningless. Adding to the disrespect, shopkeepers in the surrounding areas dump garbage near the statue's pedestal, further spoiling the atmosphere. —RAMESH GUPTA, NARWANA

Stray cattle pose threat to motorists

The stray cattle menace in Rohtak has become a serious problem, causing frequent traffic hazards and accidents. These animals roam freely on roads, creating significant risks for both pedestrians and motorists. The lack of proper management has led to an increase in their numbers. —Parveen Kumar, Rohtak

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).
