Shimla, May 20

The Shimla Municipal Corporation (SMC) is set to take action against street vendors, who are operating from the roadside despite having shops allotted to them. As per the MC, several street vendors have sublet their shops and are collecting rent for the same.

The corporation had constructed vending zone for street vendors at Vikasnagar under Shimla Smart City Mission and allotted them shops at a reasonable rent. The matter has been raised by councillors at the monthly House meetings earlier also. Municipal Commissioner Bhupinder Attri said action would be taken against the street vendors who had sublet their shops. He said the MC would conduct a survey to identify vendors under its jurisdiction.

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).
