New Delhi, December 1

Delhi Education Minister Atishi wrote to Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, flagging “irregularities” in 12 Delhi University (DU) colleges funded by the Delhi Government.

The minister in her letter stated, “The Delhi Government has noted several serious irregularities and procedural lapses involving hundreds of crores of rupees from the public exchequer.”

“Since these colleges are directly affiliated with DU, they’re not answerable to the Delhi Government for the judicious utilisation of funds.” she added.

Atishi suggested two propositions to overcome the constraints. She proposed that either the 12 colleges be merged and brought under the Delhi Government or the Centre may take their full control and in that case, the Delhi Government will stop allocating funds to them.

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).
