The issue of garbage dumps is becoming a cause for concern for the Municipal Corporation with each passing day. Residents living near the sewage treatment plant (STP) at Pholriwal and Model Town dump visited the Municipal Corporation to meet MC Commissioner Abhijeet Kaplish on Wednesday. While residents living near the STP couldn’t meet the commissioner, Model Town residents met him. Residents protesting against the STP have decided to move the High Court too. “He asked us to wait for a week as he would look into the matter properly,” said Jaswinder Singh, president, joint action committee, fighting against the Model Town dump.

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).
