With Municipal Corporation (MC) Commissioner Aaditya Dachalwal adopting a strict approach to curb open dumping of garbage and ensure cleanliness across the city, a sweeper, Sukhwinder Singh, has been suspended for allowing open dumping in his area and dereliction of duty.

Officials stated that Sukhwinder Singh was posted on 100-Feet Road, falling under Zone B of the MC. Despite the installation of static compactors, garbage continued to be dumped openly in the area and Sukhwinder failed to prevent it. Earlier, MC Commissioner Dachalwal had issued strict instructions to the Health Branch officials. Staff members were directed to ensure cleanliness in their respective areas.

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).
