Chandigarh, August 9

Acting on a petition filed by Walmart India Private Limited (Best Price Modern Wholesale), the Punjab and Haryana High Court has called for earnest efforts to ensure the petitioner is able to remove the goods, the shelf-life of which has expired or was going to expire within three months. Justice Lisa Gill also called for “necessary steps for removal of blockage”.

As the petition filed through senior counsel RS Rai came up for hearing, reply by way of an affidavit was filed, stating the administration and police had been successful in persuading the local kisan union leaders to talk to their state-level leaders stationed at Delhi to come forward with proposals to end the deadlock.

Rai submitted the removal of expired/about-to-expire goods was also required to be facilitated. — TNS

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).
