City-based RTI and social activist Kumar Gaurav on Monday raised concern regarding types of interlocking tiles being used at the Civil Hospital, Ludhiana.

Gaurav raised concern about the incomplete and insufficient work of laying of interlocking tiles being done by the contractor concerned.

Gaurav said steel mould 80 mm interlocking tiles had to be used but instead, 60 mm rubber mould tiles were being used in the work.

“The rubber mould tiles do not have enough strength and are not long lasting and not approved also,” he said.

He said the work of laying of interlocking tiles had been left incomplete near the lab, OPD, blood bank and Gynaecology Department.

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).
