Chandigarh, July 31

The NDA’s ally SAD (Sanyukt) has appealed to the Prime Minister not to give land to Haryana for construction of an Assembly building in Chandigarh as it can create unrest in Punjab.

Sukhdev Singh Dhindsa, former Union minister and president of Shiromani Akali Dal (Sanyukt), wrote to Prime Minister Narendra Modi that the Governor, being the UT Administrator, intended to exchange some land with Haryana. “Chandigarh belongs to Punjab because when the capital was shifted from Lahore to Chandigarh, it was established by uprooting Punjab villages,” Dhindsa wrote.

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).
