Chandigarh, April 24

A day after the move of UT Administration’s horticulture wing to spend Rs 6.22 lakh on flower decoration for the inauguration of the Air Force Heritage Centre in Sector 18 was highlighted in the media, the tender for the same was cancelled today.

The UT Administration stated the tender had been cancelled “due to administrative reasons/issues”. Sources said the matter was taken up at the higher level at the Centre, following which the tender was cancelled.

According to the tender floated earlier, Rs 3.25 lakh alone was estimated for providing and affixing “laddu” marigold strings. As many as 13,000 of these were to be put up, each costing Rs 25.

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).
