Chandigarh, February 23

Carrying “missing” posters, the Chandigarh Youth Congress today protested against local MP Kirron Kher in front of her house in Sector 8.

Party president Manoj Lubana said, “An unprecedented blackout in the history of Chandigarh, no electricity in most parts of the city for more than 24 hours. The Administration, under the BJP government, wants to privatise the profit-making Electricity Department. However, MP Kiron Kher is missing.”

“Apparently, she is missing since she was elected. It has been a complete failure on the part of the UT Administration that allowed such a blackout to take place. For the past 20 days, powermen had been announcing that they would go on a strike for three days,” 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).
