Encroachments on the space meant for pedestrians to walk by vendors and shopkeepers have become a routine occurrence in Nurmahal town as the Nagar Council authorities have failed to take action against the violators.

Locals say the failure of the Nagar Council to initiate action for the removal of encroachment on the Talwan chowk road is encouraging other shopkeepers to follow suit on different roads.

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).
