Chandigarh, August 26

Security guards of the Chandigarh Housing Board (CHB) today apprehended a person, Manmohan Singh of M/s HST Enterprises, for allegedly trying to bribe an officer.

Yashpal Garg, Chief Executive Officer, CHB, said the man entered the chamber of a woman section officer and placed an envelope on her table. He told her that the envelope contained money. She objected and asked him to remove the envelope. The person was apprehended with the help of the security guards. Later, he was handed over to the Vigilance cell, which arrested him.

The person tried to bribe the woman officer as some bills of payments were being examined by the officer, the CHB official said.

“There is zero tolerance towards corruption in the CHB and strict action will follow in such matters,” he said.

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).
