The Municipal Corporation has not extended the deputation period of Chief Engineer Sanjay Arora.

Arora was sent to the MC on deputation by the administration in October 2024 and given the charge of Chief Engineer. His one-year extension period ended on October 23.

He has served in New Delhi MC as Chief Engineer for two years on deputation.

Meanwhile, Harmohinder Singh Lucky, president of the Chandigarh Pradesh Congress Committee, in a statement issued here today, criticised the decision on not extending Arora’s deputation tenure. He said the BJP wanted every honest officer to act as its puppet and support its wrong and arbitrary decisions. The Congress stands firmly with all honest officers, 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).
