Chandigarh, January 6

Mayor Anup Gupta will hold his last House meeting on January 9.

It may be recalled that the meeting was earlier supposed to be held in December last year, but it was held off. Notably, the next mayor will be elected this month.

In a press statement, AAP councillor Yogesh Dhingra accused Mayor Gupta of running the MC House in an “unconstitutional” manner. He stated that even though the House’s first meeting every year is held to elect the new mayor, senior deputy mayor and deputy mayor as per an Act, Gupta is making it his own farewell meeting. He further alleged that of the 12 meetings to be held in a year, Gupta held only nine.

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).
