After repeated complaints from residents and commuters, repair work has finally commenced at the Lodhi Club underpass, leading to a temporary closure of the stretch for two to three days.

The development follows a directive from the Punjab State Human Rights Commission, which took suo motu cognisance of the deteriorating infrastructure and persistent waterlogging at the site.

The underpass, notorious for turning into a water trap even after short spells of rain, has long posed risk and inconvenience. Broken railings, failed drainage, and stagnant water have rendered it impassable for hours at a time.

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).
