Faridabad, August 24

Preeti Bhardwaj Dalal, a member of the National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR), visited an orphanage located in Chandpur village on Friday in connection with the inspection regarding certain alleged irregularities at the place.

The commission found 30 girls living in two different orphanages, while officially the number had been 29. The commission also objected to the operation of an orphanage having 13 minor girls, which was also being run as a “paid hostel” here. Preeti said strict action would be taken against those found involved in any sort of wrongdoing.

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).
