Chandigarh, August 4

SAD chief Sukhbir Singh Badal today described the proposal to appoint a full-fledged administrator for Chandingarh by divesting the Governor of this charge as another attempt to dilute Punjab’s claim to its capital city.

“Chandigarh is an inseparable part of Punjab and should be transferred to the parent state. We will launch an agitation to ensure this move does not fructify”. He also requested the Chief Minister to pursue the case vigorously with the Centre. — TNS

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).
