Chandigarh, March 25

The Supreme Court on Thursday told Punjab, Haryana and the Bhakra Beas Management Board to maintain status quo on the supply of water to Delhi till Friday.

A Bench led by Chief Justice SA Bobde put on hold the decision by the two states and the BBMB to reduce water supply to Delhi by 25 per cent in view of repair work in a canal.

The top court asked the two states and the BBMB to file their response to the plea by Delhi Jal Board opposing the move to curtail the amount of water supplied to 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).
