DCC working chief expelled

Phagwara: The disciplinary action committee on Friday expelled the District Congress Committee, Kapurthala, working president, Daljit Singh Raju, from the Congress with immediate effect. AICC-in-charge Punjab and Chandigarh, Harish Chaudhary, said the expulsion of Raju has been ordered in view of his anti-party activities.

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).
