Amritsar, November 1

Lok Sabha member Gurjeet Singh Aujla has criticised the state government for fixing the responsibility on the village nambardar for burning crop residue in the fields.

In a press conference here on Tuesday, Aujla said the state government and senior officials were running from their responsibility by shifting the onus on the namberdars, who have no powers to take action. He said it seemed that the government machinery had failed.

He said the purpose of the namberdar was to verify the identity and documents of the village residents. and putting the onus of burning residue on them, but the government was looking for scapegoats.

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).
