Patiala, December 26

The Municipal Corporation has started activities to remove encroachments on roads and the roadside. Commuters have been facing issues due to the ill-management of traffic and failure of compliance of laws for long.

MC Commissioner Aaditya Uppal said the corporation has started removing all illegal encroachments. “Our teams have been functioning and visiting different marketplaces for the removal of encroachments. Residents are advised not to carry out any encroachment on roads and pavements and cooperate with the civic body,” he said.

He said, “Those found encroaching on government land without authorisation will be penalised. The MC will also confiscate anything found in the streets and on roads, causing inconvenience to people.”

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).
