Chandigarh: The UT has decided to put an end to the discretionary quota of the UT Administrator in the allotment of houses under schemes of the CHB. The Board of Directors of the CHB had, in December 2020, decided to abolish the 5 per cent discretionary quota. At a meeting, presided over by Dharam Pal, UT Adviser-cum-Chairman, CHB, the board decision was approved and it was decided to submit it to the UT Administrator for final approval.

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).
