Mohali, July 5

The Punjab School Education Board suspended Senior Assistant Parvinder Singh along with helpers at the Certificate Branch Ranjit Singh and Rajinder Singh after huge flaws were found in the verification of the certificates related to the Punjab Pharmacy Council and tampering with records.

Jagtar Singh, a daily wage earner, has been shifted to the Regional Office at Rupnagar, along with the issuance of show cause notice to the Certificate Branch.

The Board has recommended the registration of a Prevention of Corruption Act case in the matter.

The irregularities came to the fore during an investigation related to the verification of two certificates sent for verification by the Punjab Pharmacy Council on April 4.

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).
