Navjot Singh Sidhu, former PPCC president, slammed the AAP government for failing to control sand prices in the state. During a visit to the retail construction material market at the Maal Mandi area on GT road, Sidhu asked for their prices. Sand, which was Rs 1,600 rupees till a month ago, now costs Rs 3,200 per 100 cubic feet today. Construction projects are coming to halt and the reason is increase in the rate of sand, he claimed.

Navjot Singh Sidhu interacts with people in Amritsar.

He took a potshot at Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal who used to claim that his party’s government would earn Rs 20,000 crore from the sale of sand in the state. After holding a talk with the sand suppliers he told the mediapersons that enough supply was not coming out of the sites leased out to the contractors for mining. As a result the demand remained unmet. So, short supply was causing the prices to go up in the market. —

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).
