Senior Deputy Mayor Jasbir Singh Bunty has requested the Municipal Commissioner to discuss issue of financial crunch in the General House meeting scheduled to be held on April 30. Bunty said instead of discussing new agenda of development, the old agenda points may be discussed first.

In the letter written to Commissioner, he said, “It was on record that Grant-in-Aid has been duly enhanced from the last financial year. But it is strange that neither the salaries of the outsourcing staff of different wings have been released timely nor patch work is being done.”

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).
