New Delhi, December 18

The Delhi Assembly on Monday passed a resolution summoning the Principal Secretary of the Finance Department at 2 pm for allegedly obstructing government funds earmarked for the House.

Assembly Speaker Ram Niwas Goel said that because the funds were not being approved by Finance Secretary A C Verma, annual programmes of the Assembly on Diwali and Chhath could not be held this year.

The function on Christmas will also not be held, he said during the Winter Session of the Delhi Assembly.

Chief Whip of the AAP Dilip Pandey moved the resolution for summoning Verma to the Assembly.

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).
