Panchkula, December 29

Haryana Minister of State for Sports and Youth Affairs Sandeep Singh on Wednesday ordered the registration of an FIR against five officials for alleged irregularities in “dhaincha” seed distribution at Raipur Rani.

He was presiding over a District Public Relations and Grievance Redressal Committee meeting at the PWD Rest House in Sector 1 here.

“It’s a serious matter. The culprits should be dealt with strict action,” he said.

In July, the minister had suspended the then District Mining Officer Om Dutt Sharma “for his failure to stop rampant illegal mining in the district”.

As many as 24 complaints were taken up at the meeting, in which local MLA and Speaker Gian Chand Gupta and DC Mahavir Kaushik were also present.

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).
