Chandigarh, December 27

UT Administrator Banwarilal Purohit today gave approval to the design of an auditorium and convention centre to be constructed at Sardar Beant Singh Memorial in Sector 42 here.

Purohit, along with UT Adviser Dharam Pal and other senior officers, visited the memorial and expressed his displeasure over the delay in work. Efforts have been made to develop the memorial during the past several years, but many works are still incomplete.

The project was started in 1999 in the memory of former Chief Minister Beant Singh. Marred by delays, it was finally inaugurated in October 2008. The project was funded by the UT Administration and the Punjab Government.

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).
