Gurugram, August 13

A local couple has been booked for allegedly illegally adopting a two-month-old girl.

The Child Welfare Committee (CWC) has taken over the custody of the infant. The couple had adopted the daughter of a migrant who gave her up after her husband abandoned her.

The complainant, Pinki Malik, administrator of the Sakhi-one stop centre, said the couple had arrived at the centre with the child on Wednesday. The couple said they had adopted the girl and wanted to get her birth certificate made. When she looked at the adoption letter, it came to light that the couple had illegally adopted the girlchild. —OC

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).
