New Delhi, September 2

AAP MLA Sanjeev Jha on Saturday alleged that the delay in releasing salaries of Delhi University professors is a “conspiracy to tarnish the image” of Arvind Kejriwal government and sought an investigation.

Jha said the salaries were still pending despite Delhi Education Minister Atishi sanctioning Rs 100 crore. “We seek an investigation into this delay and want the salaries of the professors be released immediately,” Jha told a press conference here.

Atishi had on August 25 questioned the finance department over the nearly “one-and-a-half-month delay” in the release of Rs 100 crore to 12 DU colleges fully funded by the city government.

She said the fund was approved in June, but it has not reached the colleges. Atishi had directed that the second quarterly grant of Rs 100 crore be released sans delay.

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).
