Shimla, November 2

The new Shimla Municipal Commissioner, Ashish Kohli, says pushing the city further up on the cleanliness index and maximising digitalisation of services were among his top priorities. “We will work to ensure that people don’t have to visit MC offices and can get their work done while sitting at home,” he said, after assuming office today.

Kohli said he would rope in institutions such as SJVN and banks for assistance. “We will explore if they can take up some responsibilities under their CSR schemes,” he said. He said he would coordinate with the district administration for Smart City projects. — TNS

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).
