New Delhi, July 30

Delhi Pradesh Congress Committee president Devender Yadav has condemned recent actions by the Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) following the tragic deaths of four Civil Services aspirants due to flooding and electrocution at Old Rajinder Nagar.

Yadav criticised the MCD’s response, which included the termination of a junior engineer’s services, suspension of an assistant engineer and a show-cause notice to the executive engineer of the Karol Bagh zone, as mere attempts to deflect responsibility.

“These actions are nothing more than passing the blame onto junior officials,” Yadav remarked.

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).
