Jalandhar, January 16

Dramatic scenes were witnessed when Municipal Corporation (MC) bulldozers started demolishing an under-construction restaurant near Curo Mall on the 66 ft road. Workers of the restaurant said they were shocked at the sudden demolition action by the MC. A heavy police force was deployed to prevent any untoward incident.

However, a few enraged people attacked a car in which a civic body official was sitting. Reportedly, they tried to break the window pane of the car in which Building Inspector Pooja Maan was sitting. The protesters raised slogans against the MC. One of the workers of the restaurant said no notice was sent to them before initiating the demolition drive.

A controversy has been associated with the building that it is illegal and no approval was given for its construction.

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).
