The Haryana Right to Service Commission, during a hearing, has levied a fine of Rs 15,000 on Sanitary Inspector Vikas of the Samalkha civic body.

Giving information in this regard, an official spokesperson said the appellant, Ashu, had initially submitted an appeal on July 27, 2023, seeking the service of solid waste removal from streets and roads in Samalkha. However, no substantial action was taken until September 13. Subsequently, a second appeal was lodged. Following the investigation, the commission found clear lapses in the case. The negligence prompted the commission,to impose a total fine of Rs 15,000 while Rs10,000 be deposited in the treasury by Vikas and an additional Rs 5,000 will be deducted from his salary.

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).
