Chandigarh, November 4

As Speaker, Gian Chand Gupta completed three years in office. The punishment of officials who offended MLAs and the establishment of e-Vidhan Sabha resulting in the saving of Rs 5-6 crore per year, have been the highlights of his tenure.

Holding a press conference today, he said their Vidhan Sabha was the fourth one in the country to have gone online. “For this, we provided laptops, tabs, and training to the MLAs,” he said.

Besides asking questions during sessions of the Haryana Legislative Assembly, the MLAs can raise three queries per month. “For the first time in the history, an opposition MLA Varun Chaudhary was made the chairman of the Public Accounts Committee,” said Gupta.

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).
