Chandigarh, April 23

Newly-appointed Punjab Congress president Amarinder Singh Raja Warring has been issued Rs 29,390 fine for allegedly putting up posters and banners in the city without permission.

According to the Chandigarh Municipal Corporation officials, the notice was sent at the time when Raja was taking oath as the new Congress chief at the Congress Bhawan in Sector 15 on Friday morning.

Banners and posters were put up without permission, under the Advertisement Control Act in the city.

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).
