The Shimla Municipal Corporation (MC) removed three unauthorised street vendors from Lower Bazaar for selling goods without valid permission. During a market inspection, MC officials asked vendors to produce identity cards or proof of authorisation. Upon failing to provide the required documents, the officials removed them and confiscated their goods. In addition to tackling unauthorised vending, the MC conducted a 10-minute fire safety mock drill in Lower Bazaar. A fire tender was deployed to ensure timely response in case of emergencies, testing accessibility in the market. Tehbazaari Inspector Jyoti Prakash leads weekly inspections of Shimla’s main markets every Sunday. The team targets unauthorised vendors and hawkers while also taking action against shopkeepers encroaching on public spaces.

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).
