Former Congress MLA Sukhpal Singh Bhullar addresses workers in Mehmudpur village. Gurbaxpuri

Congress leader and former MLA from Khemkaran Sukhpal Singh Bhullar has called upon party workers to come forward and protest against the style of working of the AAP government in Punjab. The Congress leader was addressing party workers at a meeting organised at Mehmudpur village on Wednesday. He said that development works in the border area had come to a standstill as a result of which link roads got damaged and ponds in villages were overflowing, causing waterlogging on several roads. He said health services were affected as just five per cent posts the medical officers were filled while the rest were lying vacant. Government schools were without teachers, he said.

The former MLA alleged that the state government was dancing to the tunes of non-Punjabi leaders of AAP ,who were handling the administrative affairs, not just at the local, but at the state level, too.

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).
