Shimla Municipal Corporation officials took action against five unauthorised street vendors operating in Lower Bazaar. A team led by Tehbazaari Inspector Jyoti Prakash found these vendors without necessary permits. Their goods were confiscated. Many of these vendors, hailing from neighbouring states like Punjab, Delhi and Haryana, frequently visit Shimla during weekends to sell their products. Prakash highlighted the issue of overcrowding caused by these unauthorised vendors, which can hinder emergency response efforts. To address this problem, the corporation is developing a street vendor policy. Once implemented, only registered vendors will be allowed to operate from designated areas marked with blue lines. A recent mock fire drill in the market area emphasised the importance of maintaining clear pathways.

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).
