Despite the tall claims of the Municipal Council on maintaining cleanliness, piles of garbage continue to dot Jhajjar city. At several places, garbage awaits lifting as stray animals rummage through them. These dumps not only paint a dirty picture of the city but also pose a health hazard. Civic body workers should pick up garbage daily so that the city could boast of cleanliness. This will also reduce the risk of diseases caused due to unhygienic conditions. —Sandeep, Jhajjar

Roadside vendors playing with customers’ health

It’s very common to see halwais and roadside vendors frying eatables like bhatures, pakoras, jalebis, poories, etc in the same oil throughout the day. Ideally, they should discard the used oil after cooking a couple of times. The Health Department should conduct checking on such outlets. —Ramesh Gupta, Narwana

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).
