Jammu, April 7

The Opposition has lambasted the UT administration for not getting government accommodation vacated from former legislators. A list of 48 unauthorised occupants of government accommodation was submitted before a division bench of the High Court of J&K and Ladakh on Thursday while hearing a petition regarding unauthorised occupation of government bungalows and quarters by former ministers and ex-legislators. The next hearing is April 28.

Harsh Dev Singh, leader of the J&K National Panthers Party (JKNPP), alleged that the Estate Department “sheltered the occupiers.”

Congress leader Ravinder Sharma said most of the occupants were from the BJP while others were staying on court interventions.

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).
