Amritsar: A social activist complained to the Central Vigilance Commissioner (CVC) against alleged embezzlement of funds in non-schedule works conducted under the National Heritage City Development and Augmentation Yojana (HRIDAY) in the city. SS Sharma raised concern over the works conducted on various sites under the HRIDAY project. Sharma alleged that cracks have developed on the walls of the Ram Bagh Gate. “I suspect embezzlement of funds in non-schedule items by one of the then executive officer. I have written to the CVC in this regard. I have demanded third party inquiry for works conducted under the HRIDAY. The involvement of senior officials of the MC should be also probed,” said Sharma. “The CVC has recognised my complaint and initiated the investigation,” he said. TNS

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).
