Amid the Municipal Corporation (MC), Ludhiana’s, crackdown on illegal constructions in the city a building inspector, Kuljeet Singh Mangat, was suspended over his failure to stop illegal constructions and dereliction of duty.

The suspension orders were issued by the Local Bodies Department on the basis of a report submitted by the office of MC Additional Commissioner.

MC Commissioner Aaditya Dachalwal stated that clear instructions had been issued to the building branch officials regarding taking stern action against illegal constructions or facing the music.

Meanwhile, Dachalwal urged residents to begin construction only after getting building plans approved from the civic body, or face action.

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).
