BJP leaders claimed the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) government was discriminating against its councillors in the Ludhiana Municipal Corporation. BJP district president Rajneesh Dhiman led a delegation to submit a memorandum regarding this to Municipal Commissioner Aaditya Dachalwal, citing neglect and biased treatment towards the party’s councillors.

The councillors demanded a full complement of sanitation staff in their areas. They alleged that insufficient lighting in these wards had led to an increase in crime rate. They also alleged that roads in their wards were in a bad condition, with maintenance work being halted. While AAP MLAs expedited development projects in the wards, where their party councillors were elected.

The delegation urged Dachalwal to address these issues and ensure equal development across all wards.

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).
