New Delhi, December 6

The AAP dispensation has ordered an audit of the Delhi Jal Board’s records by the Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG), amid allegations of misappropriation of funds, government sources said on Wednesday.

The records of the last 15 years will be audited, they said.

“Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal has directed for an audit of DJB,” a source said.

The BJP and AAP have been sparring over alleged irregularities in the Delhi Jal Board since last month.

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).
