Ambala, January 24

A team of the Vigilance Bureau, Karnal, has arrested seven persons, including officials of the PWD (B&R), Hafed and a contractor for alleged embezzlement of funds amounting to over Rs 2 crore.

A case was registered by the bureau in Ambala in August last year against eight persons after irregularities had come to the fore in the construction of a godown in Kurukshetra.

The arrested people included officials of the rank of Superintending Engineer of the PWD, JEs of Hafed, an accountant and a contractor.

The accused allegedly passed bills in favour of the contractor. A case was registered after probe.

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).
