Chandigarh, June 28

Vidhan Sabha Speaker Gian Chand Gupta today batted for a new Vidhan Sabha building for Haryana to tide over the space crunch.

In a letter to the Lok Sabha Sabha Speaker, copies of which were also sent to the state government, the Centre and Leader of the Opposition, Gupta said space for the proposed state-of-the-art building should be allotted from the Chandigarh Administration .

Gupta noted that as per the proposed delimitation of Haryana in 2026, the state was set to have 14 parliamentary and 126 Assembly segments. In view of the space shortage in the existing building, there was no proper place for ministers, chairmen of Vidhan Sabha committees and over 350 officials and employees of the Secretariat. — TNS

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).
