The Patiala Development Authority (PDA) carried out a drive to demolish two unauthorised colonies in Seona and Balbehra villages here today.

The colonies were developed in violation of the Punjab Apartment and Property Regulation Act, 1995. The drive was conducted on the orders of Chief Administrator Manisha Rana and Additional Chief Administrator Jashanpreet Kaur Gill.

The operation was carried out in the presence of District Town Planner Seema Kaushal, Assistant Town Planner Gurinder Singh, Sub-Divisional Engineer Rajeev Kumar, and Junior Engineers Gurpreet Singh, Sanjeev Kumar, Gurpyar Singh and Pankaj Garg.

The PDA has also issued notices to several other colonisers involved in developing ‘unauthorised’ colonies.

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).
