Patiala, December 5

A team from the Municipal Corporation removed illegal encroachments on the road extending from the Sheran wala gate to Dharampura bazar here today.

MC officials said they have held a number of drives to sensitise people regarding encroachments on the city roads. “Encroachments on roads and sidewalks are not permitted. It causes chaos. We have informed the residents about it repeatedly and have even confiscated rehris for encroachment. But the people failed to pay attention,” MC official Munish Puri said. He further said, “We will hold the anti-encroachment drive in other areas as well.”

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).
