Responding to the Opposition’s charges against the Central Vista project, the Centre has claimed that no healthcare funds were diverted for it.

In a release, the Union Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs debunked the charge that Rs 20,000 crore was being spent on the project this year amid the pandemic. The ministry said the plan was envisaged in 2019, many months before the outbreak. The ministry said none of the heritage buildings — India Gate, Parliament, North & South Blocks, National Archives or any other — would be demolished. — 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).
