Amritsar, October 31

In a complaint to Deputy Commissioner Harpreet Singh Sudan, a Fairland Colony resident— Gurjeet Singh Sodhi— has alleged that one depot holder from his area has sublet his depot to another person in return for a monthly sum.

He alleged that, as per the Public Distribution Scheme (PDS), a depot given for the distribution of subsidised ration among the needy cannot be further sublet. He said the violation should be taken seriously, and that those violating the norms should be penalised.

Officials at the Deputy Commissioner’s office stated that they would be marking the complaint to the concerned department so that a probe can be carried out.

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).
