MLA Vikramjit Singh Chaudhary today joined the ongoing protest at Green Market, Mao Sahib near Phillaur, where villagers and various organisations are opposing the proposed Bilga sewage pipeline.

The government, along with the Nakodar MLA, has been pushing to route the pipeline through village Maosahib, a site of historic significance linked to Mata Ganga, wife of Guru Arjun Dev Ji.

Addressing the gathering, MLA Chaudhary assured residents that he will not allow the pipeline to pass through the historic village. He said he will raise the issue at all levels—including the Vidhan Sabha and with the Chief Minister—to ensure that public sentiments are fully respected.

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).
