The Congress today threatened to launch a statewide stir if the foundation stone of the Rohtang tunnel laid by UPA chairperson Sonia Gandhi on June 28, 2010, was not restored.

State Congress president Kuldeep Rathore wrote to CM Jai Ram Thakur, terming the removal of stone as undemocratic and illegal.

“Such a step is only indicative of the political agenda of a particular ideology,” he said. Rathore also sent a letter to the Director General of Police (DGP), seeking the arrest of miscreants “against whom no action has been taken despite the registration of an FIR.”

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).
