Atti (Phillaur), February 20

A splash of muddied water leaves a nearby wall awash as an SUV tries to navigate through a huge gaping pothole in the road. This is embarrassingly just metres away from the Atti village’s much decked up model polling booth. As village youths queue up to cast their votes, among the issues which reign on their minds is the unkempt road awaiting repair for years, rampant unemployment, no gym and no playground.

The same road connects the village to Government Middle School, Atti, (which acts as the polling booth today) posing a nightmare for its students.

Manpreet Singh, a voter, says, “We don’t feel like voting as our works are not being done. The road has been the same for the past many years. It is an eyesore.”

Boota Ram, 52, says, “For a long time the road is in the same state. Even before elections, no one bothered fixing it.” —

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).
