New Delhi, April 5

With the Rajya Sabha giving its approval, the Parliament on Tuesday cleared a Bill to amend the Delhi Municipal Corporation Act of 1957 to merge the present three Municipal Corporations of the national capital to create one body.

The Upper House approved the Bill, which was passed by the Lok Sabha last week, vide a voice vote. The Rajya Sabha passed the Bill following heated exchanges between the BJP and Opposition members. Union Home Minister Amit Shah justified it saying it was aimed to ameliorate civic governance in Delhi. —

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).
