Traders in Solan downed their shutters for a few hours today in protest against an anti-encroachment drive launched by the district administration. Led by SDM Dr Punam Bansal, a team of municipal staff and police began demarcating encroachments from 10:30 am. They identified and removed hanging billboards, iron grills and concrete extensions outside shops. Encroachments have long posed a challenge in Solan, with many shopkeepers displaying wares on roads or concrete platforms.

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).
