Shimla, August 4
The Shimla Municipal Corporation today removed 12 unauthorised street vendors and hawkers from various markets of the state capital.
During an inspection, a nine-member team, led by Tehbazari Inspector Jyoti Prakash, found six unauthorised street vendors in Lower Bazaar, two each in Ram Bazaar, Indira Gandhi Medical College (IGMC) road and the area near the lift. The team also confiscated goods from the vendors.
Jyoti Prakash said a strict action was being taken against such street vendors in the town. He said most of the street vendors were from Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan, Haryana, Punjab, Chandigarh and New Delhi.

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).
