Shimla, May 15

The Shimla Municipal Corporation is planning to take garbage collection charges from defaulters along with the property tax. A plan is being chalked out and the proposal is expected to be implemented from the next financial year.

Municipal Commissioner, Shimla Municipal Corporation, Bhupinder Attri said amendments in the Municipal Corporation Act will be made to club the two bills.

The corporation issues garbage collection bills to about 60,000 residents of the town on a monthly basis.

However, there are around 10,000 people who are not paying the garbage collection charges.

The Municipal Corporation will issue notices to the property tax and garbage collection charges defaulters from June onwards, after the conclusion of Lok Sabha polls and Legislative Assembly byelections.

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).
