Amritsar, April 23

Though the matter of floor test of the Municipal Corporation general house is sub judice in the Punjab and Haryana High Court, Senior Deputy Mayor Raman Bakshi, petitioner in the case, claimed that they would fight for their rights till the end of the tenure of the House. The next hearing of the case is on May 4 and the petitioner is hopeful that the court would ask to conduct the floor test.

However, Mayor Karamjit Singh Rintu has already announced that he is ready for the floor test as he has a majority of councillors to show.

Senior Deputy Mayor Raman Bakshi said, “If Karamjit Singh Rintu is ready for the floor test then he should inform the court of this.”

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).
