New Delhi, July 26

Delhi Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena today ordered the suspension of six officials of the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) over charges of corruption and abuse of power.

“The MCD Commissioner has suspended six officials for gross negligence, abuse of official position and corruption,” a source said. The suspended officials are Superintendent Engineer AS Yadav, Administrative Officer Manish Kumar, Deputy Controller of Accounts Anju Bhutani, South Zone Inspector Vijay Kumar, Junior Engineer (Narela) Sankhya Mishra and Assistant Engineer (Narela) Sriniwas.

The L-G allowed the CBI to prosecute a Sub-registrar, who allegedly regularised about 50 unauthorised constructions in Karol Bagh.

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).
