Muktsar, July 4

Taking stern action against defaulters who have not been paying the rent, the Gidderbaha Municipal Council today sealed a few shops in the town.

Due to the non-payment of money, the council was unable to pay salaries to the sweepers for the past four months,

Davinder Singh, a municipal councillor of Gidderbaha, said, “The council owns nearly 500 shops which are rented. However, nearly half of the tenants are not paying the rent. The amount has reached in lakhs. The council had written to the state government in this regard and has been directed to take action against the defaulters. It will help us generate revenue and pay the salaries to the sweepers.”

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).
