Chandigarh, August 10

Former minister and Tosham MLA Kiran Choudhry has written to the President, Droupadi Murmu, urging her to withhold assent to the state’s land acquisition Bill.

The Governor had referred the Bill for presidential assent in December last year.

The Congress MLA said the ‘Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Rehabilitation and Resettlement (Haryana Amendment) Bill-2021’ had been hastily piloted and approved in a short period of the Vidhan Sabha monsoon session, ignoring their vociferous protests and a walkout.

“Any meaningful discussion on the Bill was stifled and steamrolled, and due deliberations were eschewed while approving the Bill abovementioned.”

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).
