New Delhi, November 11

The Supreme Court (SC) on Friday asked the District Collector and the Deputy Conservator of Forests of Satara in Maharashtra to file reports on the demolition of alleged unauthorised structures on government/forest land around the tomb of Afzal Khan, the commander of Bijapur’s Adil Shahi dynasty.

A Bench led by Chief Justice DY Chandarchud sought the reports after Maharashtra submitted that the demolition drive, which started on Thursday, was over and illegal structures built on government and forest land had already been removed.

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).
