Union Law Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal had recently written to Union Housing and Urban Development Minister Hardeep Puri, seeking inquiry and action against those guilty in the alleged Rs 1,000-crore Smart City scam in Jalandhar.

As per information, MC Commissioner Aditya Uppal received a letter from the minister who asked to send a report on the same. “We have sent clarification on five projects which the Centre had sought explanation on,” said Uppal. He said, “I have been reviewing Smart City projects. Vigilance inquiry is also going on. Things will get clear once it’s complete.”

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).
