After taking up the cudgels earlier for re-opening a case against minister Charanjit Channi pertaining to sending “inappropriate” messages to an IAS officer, Punjab State Women Commission chairperson Manisha Gulati today showed much discomfiture over queries in the case.

“There has been a lot of upheaval in the government. I do not want to comment on the sensitive issue. The only thing I can say is that the report is pending with the government,” said Gulati, who had staged a dharna over the issue, while refusing to take any further questions in the case today.

Earlier, she had announced she was not afraid of losing her job. Meeting officials here, she directed the police department to resolve all pending complaints within 15 days. — TNS

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).
