Ludhiana, August 30

Taking action against illegal constructions, the Municipal Corporation (MC) demolished an illegal colony in the Sherpur area and removed four permanent encroachments on the road portion in Ghora Colony on Friday.

Building branch officials said they had received a complaint against the construction of the illegal colony, following which a demolition drive was carried out on the directions of MC Commissioner Sandeep Rishi.

Assistant Town Planner (ATP), Zone B, Davinder Singh, said there were around eight permanent encroachments in Ghora Colony but the drive was put to halt in between after rainfall hit the city. Four of the encroachments had been removed on Friday while the remaining will be removed in coming days.

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).
