Muktsar, July 15

Raising concern over the lack of cleanliness and sewage overflow in some parts of the town, municipal councillors of the Congress, SAD, BJP, ruling AAP and some social activists lodged a protest by blocking the road at Kotkapura Chowk in Muktsar town today.

Some municipal councillors claimed the officials concerned were not even taking their phone calls. “The situation has turned grim and it is very difficult for the residents to come out of their houses. However, nothing is being done on the ground,” said municipal councillor Gurpreet Singh.

Later, Gurwinder Singh Virk, naib-tehsildar, Muktsar, visited the protest site where protesters submitted a memorandum to him. He assured them that he would try to resolve these issues after a discussion with the DC.

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).
