Ajay Jagga, member, Heritage Protection Cell, Chandigarh, said in an auction held in Monaco on July 20, a pair of teak armchairs fetched Rs 15.39 lakh. In a letter to the Secretary General, Rajya Sabha, New Delhi, he submitted in addition to the earlier submissions that one article, a pair of chairs, was auctioned in Monaco by an auction house, without any resistance from the Government of India.

“In such foreign auctions, in order to claim its heritage the burden lies on the country of origin and in this case it is

India, which needs to take care of this issue for its heritage protection, by providing appropriate law to the foreign countries,” he added.

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).
