AAP leaders and supporters today staged a protest against the Centre and the Bhakra Beas Management Board (BBMB) at Phase 7, Mohali, over their move to release 8,500 cusecs additional water to Haryana from the Bhakra Dam.

AAP district planning committee chairperson Prabhjot Kaur flayed the BBMB for allocating 8500 cusec excess water to Haryana without taking the Punjab Government in confidence.

“Punjab has already given excess water to Haryana. There is no water to share now,” she said.

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).
