Chandigarh, October 20

Former CM Bhupinder Singh Hooda today said that Haryana was only demanding its rightful share of water through SYL canal and not someone else’s share.

He said now that the Supreme Court had given its approval, it was the responsibility of the Centre to provide the state with its rightful share. The BJP-JJP government should put pressure on the Centre on the issue, he said while talking to mediapersons at Mahendragarh today.

“If the government takes any step in the interest of the state, the Congress is ready to support it, but the attitude of the government is lax, not only towards SYL, but also Hansi-Butana canal,” he claimed.

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).
