Jalandhar, January 11

The city has suffered a major setback as its ranking under the Swachh Survekshan has dropped abysmally. Last year, Jalandhar was ranked at 154. This year, the city’s rank dropped to 239.

MC Commissioner Aditya Uppal said cleanliness was his first priority. He said, “My prime focus is on city’s cleanliness. The rank will definitely improve next year.”

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).
