Led by Prof Prem Singh Chandumajra and Dera Bassi MLA NK Sharma, SAD leaders today alleged that their Kharar councillors were being coerced by Punjab Chief Minister’s nephew Manpreet Manna and others to change sides. They alleged that ward no. 27 councillor Jasbir had been “kidnapped” and missing since last night. Many councillors had been forcibly taken for secret meetings with top Congress leaders for the past two-three days, they alleged.

The Congress has 10 councillors, while SAD has eight and AAP one. Eight are independent councillors in the 27 wards in the Kharar Municipal Council. — TNS

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).
